Bug Description
When copying the data corresponding to the current selection (obtained by press-and-hold on a given element of the current
page), the order is not preserved.
The current implementation copies first the HTML contents (that’s good), then the whole text, and then all the images. If the block contains mixed text and images, the order in which they appear is lost.
This should be improved so that the order of mixed text and images is preserved when copying the selection to the clipboard.

This is not valid any longer as the touch selection mechanism has been removed from the browser, and will soon be replaced by a proper text selection UI (see bug #1376268).
