Summary:
When a UITextField has an active selection (e.g. select all) and then is resignFirstResponder'd, it doesn't seem to respond to taps again on places where the selection was: the textfield is not made first responder when tapped.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a UITextField
2. Enter some text
3. Select all text
4. Make another field firstResponder 
5. Try to make the UITextField firstResponder again by tapping on a place that previously was in the selection

Expected Results:
 - The UITextField accepts taps and becomes first responder

Actual Results:
- The tap is ignored
- UITextField did not become first responder

Version:
11.2.5

Notes:
Double tapping does work, since that triggers a "select word" operation
