Make text selection configurable

[barinbritva]

Autocomplete is fully not usable on mobile devices. Entering a new symbol clears selection, but not adds letter. Need to type letter twice.

On some devices after second typing, letter duplicated.

Something like this: #112

I'd like to figure out why this is happening instead of adding a band-aid. Could you provide any more info about the environment you're seeing this problem in? I think the version running on reactcommunity.org is slightly outdated, so it would be great if you could provide an example with the latest version.

It reproduces on version 1.0.0-rc5. All devices: ios, android, windows phone.

[CMTegner]

I wonder if perhaps the native autocomplete is getting in the way (#93). Could you test the latest version from git and see if you can still reproduce?

@CMTegner I was able to reproduce the issue as well and autoComplete: 'off' makes no difference.
+1 for configuration flag to turn it off completely, because in current state it makes it nearly unusable for mobile users.

Since this is making it entirely unusable for mobile users (or a sizeable % of devices for sure) I added this to the next patch release, and I think it'd be great if we could include a proper fix for this in that milestone.

@CMTegner I agree that the fix we do find would be best served to not be a bandaid if possible.

Is it ready yet? if yes, How?
