1008570 - can't select and copy text in add-ons manager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 616437

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Josh Driver]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

I opened the Add-ons manager, searched for an add-on, and clicked on "more" to get to the addon details page. I tried to select a URL in the text, to copy it, and visit it.



Actual results:

I held down my mouse, as I usually would to select text in a text field. However the text did not get highlighted, so I couldn't copy it.


Expected results:

I should have been able to highlight the text, so I could copy it.

Does this happen to every add-on and every bit of text you try to select in the add-ons manager? I just tried to reproduce, and seem to be able to select text... Could you try to make your steps a bit more explicit? I'm probably misunderstanding exactly what you're doing or selecting. Thanks!

Hi Josh, bug 616437 is landed at Firefox 30, you can try it.

Ahhh, that would explain it, because I checked in beta (30). I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of that issue, then. :-)
