It's possible to programmatically replace the text using the text property and for example shorten it. A cursor that was previously placed at the end of the text should now report an adjusted position via the API - the same applies to the anchor.

Note: cursor_position and anchor_position are not documented right now, but they are accessible (and used by the tests).

Fix panic when editing text after programmatically replacing it

When replacing the text, it may happen that the cursor position becomes outdated.
As per #331 we should make sure that this is handled also on an API level,
but this patch at least avoids the panic triggered by using editing.
