1. Create a .js file with this content:
/*
 http://orion.eclipse.org
 */

2. Highlight the URL.
3. Press the Ctrl key.

The URL turns into a real hyperlink, but when this happens, the selection highlight disappears. The editing caret appears at the beginning of the line, so it looks like the text has been unselected.

If you unfocus & refocus the browser tab, the highlight reappears.
