Revert "Clear the main page selection when the side panel selection clears."

This reverts commit 0c6cb33a628e090624ee3170f51545fb5171c524.

Reason for revert: This CL causes the main page to jump to the top
when the user makes a null selection, losing the user's scroll
position. The goal of selecting is to let a user be able to easily
keep the main page and reading pane in sync, but when the scroll
jumps, it's jarring and the user loses their place.

Screen recordings:
With the original CL (notice jumping): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n7DEIOMbSqMyG1aHc2nJRpf5-gGO_632/view?usp=sharing
With the CL reverted (notice no more jumping):

The bug that the original CL was fixing is not as severe as the bug
it introduced, which is why I propose a revert.

Original change's description:
> Clear the main page selection when the side panel selection clears.
>
> Previously, the main page would keep the highlight even if the side panel clears.
>
> One quirk: clicking inside the existing selection on the side panel returns a null anchor and focus node, while clicking outside the existing selection does not. Both actions clear the side panel's selection but I had to add a check for those null nodes and force clear the selection.

Logo Chromium

Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.

The project's web site is https://www.chromium.org.

To check out the source code locally, don't use git clone! Instead, follow the instructions on how to get the code.

Documentation in the source is rooted in docs/README.md.

Learn how to Get Around the Chromium Source Code Directory Structure .

For historical reasons, there are some small top level directories. Now the guidance is that new top level directories are for product (e.g. Chrome, Android WebView, Ash). Even if these products have multiple executables, the code should be in subdirectories of the product.

If you found a bug, please file it at https://crbug.com/new.
