1018882 - No option to deselect text if all selected in presentation mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P4)

Description

[Petruta Horea [:phorea], Desktop Test Engineering]

Reproducible on:
Firefox 30 beta 9 - 20140529161749
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0
latest Aurora - 20140601004001 
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0
latest Nightly - 20140601030204
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a PDF
2. Select the Presentation Mode button (top right corner)
3. Right click -> Select All

Actual results:
The text can't be deselected. Clicking on the screen switch to the next page so in order to deselect the text one must exit full screen.

Expected results:
One should be able to deselect the text.

Notes: 1. Also reproduces on Mac OSX 10.8.5 and Ubuntu 12.10 32-bit.
2. Also reproduces on Firefox 19.0.2 so it's not a regression.

Looks https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select might solve this issue if it works as advertised.

Is this a really important issue to track or even worry about?

Well, no, probably not compared to other, more major, PDF bugs. That doesn't seem like a good reason not to specify what versions we noticed it affecting. It isn't tracked by release management but I did toss it into the firefox backlog as I do with lots of other bugs. 

Yury, is there something specific that is annoying about this? Is it that you get bug mail as various of us add flags? What would you like to have happened instead, or what would you like from QA?

No reason. Just curious why this bug receives attention in comparison with other PDF viewer bugs we triage (in "PDF Viewer" component or marked with '[pdfjs-' in whiteboard)

I think because it was just reported in exploratory testing for 34 as it is in Beta.
