Text Services don't work in Markdown/Code cells: selection not passed to service

[lastobelus]

The easiest way to reproduce this issue is with the built-in Service, Make New Sticky Note.

With a text cell, a new note will be created with the selected text.

With a markdown or code cell, a new note is created but it is empty.

Issue is present on both release and 3.0 beta.

(note: I have no interest in creating sticky notes, but I would like to use Brett Terpstra's markdown services and searchlink service in markdown cells, and they all have the same issue)

It's an issue with the Ace editor. I will seriously dig into the Ace source code sometime and fix these bugs.

Try it here: http://ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html
It has the same problem.

Thanks. I will spend some time working on Ace after Quiver 3.0. It seems that Ace needs some help.
