helix: Fix crash while moving through selections (#52922)

Closes #51573
Closes #52852 * I believe, looking for verification of that.

A very similar issue was belived to be fixed with #51642 , however it
seems like there is still some edge cases that were causing crashes.
These issues appeared to me to be caused by the dedup method failing to
catch sub-ranges (created by entering SelectMode after the search) as
duplicates.

two new tests that isolate the case in 51573 and 52852 respectively.
