I think this is a clock bug which doesn't apply 'moz-user-select none'. Marcus, any comment?
Flags: needinfo?(m)
Notes: This occurs with any of the 2 (out of 3)  non-active tabs. Once a tab becomes the active tab long-pressing the tab name does not result in the Cut/Paste cursors.
Yes, this would be a simple fix.

Hi Marcus, can you help with this or any person you suggest? thanks.
Flags: needinfo?(m)
After looking into this more, I actually think this is more complex than initially thought:

- On the latest build from the b2g-flash-tool, long-pressing on a tab (in Clock or any other app that has tabs) causes the app to crash.

- The clock app already has -moz-user-select set on both 'html' and 'body', which should disable all text selection.

I'm currently searching for a better cause or existing bug (as this seems like a platform issue) but haven't had any luck yet.

Marcus, I didn't see the app crash in recently build. Could you try the latest one or give us the commit which caused the crash problem?

BTW, do you use WebIDE to check the css properties of those tabs?

[PullReq] mcav:clock-tab-selection to mozilla-b2g:master

The latest build doesn't crash, must have been a transient regression.

Upon further inspection, I discovered a snipped in the docs for "-moz-user-select" that indicates that absolutely-positioned elements don't get to inherit the "-moz-user-select" style, only in Firefox. (Other browsers inherit their respective directives.) Which is silly, if you ask me, but makes this fix straightforward as originally proposed.

Verified fixed on my Flame.

LGTM, was not able to select the tabs text after applying the patch. - I also did not know about absolutely-positioned elements, weird behavior..
