Description
monaco-editor version: 0.10.1
Browser: Safari 11
OS: iOS 11
Steps or JS usage snippet reproducing the issue:
- Go here.
- Tap and hold to try to start text selection
- Nothing happens, except context menu appears when the touch is ended.
Would this be fixed by attempting to disable the context menu, or is there a deeper issue here?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on the Monaco Editor playground in Safari 11 on iOS 11, following the tap-and-hold steps in the report. Inspect the touch-selection and context-menu behavior; done means a long press can begin text selection instead of only showing the context menu.
