Committed revision 1783447.
Tested in our application where the Find/Replace operations weren't working
because the selection included an extra newline that made the search text
actually not found in the complete document text.
> "getSelectedText" in TextPane always gets a trailing newline regardless of
> whether the end of line is selected or not

> Key: PIVOT-992
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-992
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: wtk
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4, 2.1
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.0.5

>
> Because of the way the "getSelectedText()" method is implemented it will
> construct a separate document containing an enclosing paragraph and then put
> the selected range of stuff into that document. But for simple text, that
> enclosing paragraph causes the PlainTextSerializer to output a line break.
> Thus the selected text result will always end in a newline even if the
> selection does not encompass the end of the line. This differs from the
> result of "getText(...)" using the selection bounds.
