If composition string removes selected string, it should be restored if the composition is canceled (committed by empty string).
On GtkEntry, composing string is displayed independently from the editor contents. Therefore, if the composition canceled, the selected string stay there.
We cannot change our composition string behavior because it's too hard and isn't better behavior in some reasons. However, we should restore the selected string.

Although I love to align each behavior to same things on native apps/widgets, but in my experience, changing canceling composition behavior may cause serious web-compat issue. For example, some web apps may assume that ending composition does not change the text from last composition string if they listen to compositionupdate
events and watch its data
value. So unless the other browsers take this behavior on Linux, we shouldn't change current behavior.
