Summary:
In iOS6 I could select text, and then open a bookmarklet (like this one for example: https://bitbucket.org/mgaudet/dayonebookmarklet/src/1062388c8320f72ca099f4e684a9d9822d7e905c/dayone.html?at=master) which grabbed the text using window.getSelection().
 
However, it seems in iOS7, any action to invoke a bookmarklet deselects the text.
 
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a bookmarklet which uses window.getSelection()
2. Select Text
3. Try to invoke bookmarlet
 
 
Expected Results:
Bookmarklet is invoked, with selected text available in window.getSelection() 
 
Actual Results:
Bookmarklet is invoked, however selection is removed, and no text is available in window.getSelection().
