[QScintilla] Selected text is deleted when focus is lost

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hello,

I had observed the very same effect a couple of weeks ago while testing eric5 with PyQt4/Qt5 
and Phil fixed it together with me. You should use the latest snapshot releases. Please not that 
there were other peculiarities in QScintilla/PyQt4 that were fixed meanwhile. I would suggest you 
use the latest snapshots of all packages.
