      *** NOTE: This is a clone bug that is tracking selection in a PasswordTextField RT-39206

      Reproducible: always
      Steps to reproduce:
      0. Turn on JAWS
      1. Download jar with accessibility test samples from https://wiki.se.oracle.com/download/attachments/46472587/Hello.jar
      2. Execute text component demo java -cp Hello.jar (hello.HelloTextArea, hello.HelloPasswordtField)
      3. Try to select some text using shift and arrows

      Expected result (as in native elements): JAWS says "selected circle bullet" (or whatever the character is), Narrator says "hidden"
      Actual result: JAWS says "selected", Windows7 Narrator says nothing
