Some quick comments. I'll read over the issue thread again when I have a chance to refresh myself on this bug, but I left a general request for more details for now.

I think with the changes below, it still makes sense to merge this PR, even though the original bug is not reproducible.

LGTM. But I think the text setter documentation should be more strongly worded to discourage people from using it (so you could just say that don't use this setter, unless you're writing a test or something).

Maybe adding the @visibleForTesting annotation will keep people from using this in real-world apps?

/// [TextEditingController]; **however, one should not also set [selection]
/// in a separate statement. To change both the [text] and the [selection]
/// change the controller's [value].**
/// change the controller's [value].** Setting this here will clear

nit: I think most readers will interpret "clear" as "setting the current selection and composing range both to (0, 0)" but the selection range will actually be set to (-1, -1) which usually isn't what people wanted or expected.

If we say -1,-1 instead of "clear" it's probably even more confusing, because it's actually immediately changed to 0,0 by the engine. Or providing a full explanation of this here might be too daunting, and it's an implementation detail we'd have to update later if we change it. I think the best option is "clear" unless someone comes up with another idea.

Maybe invalidate? Though I can see how that might be confusing too.

Maybe to make it more strongly worded add: "so avoid using it directly unless that is the desired behavior."
