hi,

it seems that Squiggly doesn't work well with TLF SelectionManager.

Steps to reproducs:

1. open popup

2. close popup (don't type anything in the text input)

3. open popup

You should see the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
