1101336 - Caret could not show up while selection is triggered by selectAllChildren API

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Steve Chung [:steveck]]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1092437 +++

Reproduce step:
1. Set a non-editable element to user-select: text/all to enable text selection
2. Call selectAllChildren to trigger selection

Actual result:
All the content will be selected with reverse type and text copy/select all bubble, but the caret does not show up and range is unchangeable

Expected result:
Caret should show up with changeable range

It's the required feature: enable text selection for message bubble in Bug #1092437, so set the dependency for gaia feature.

This it's a critical issue for 2.2 text selection feature in gaia message app bubble selection, nominate blocking flag here.

Works for me in my local machine once removing element.focus() call. Are you sure you enable pref "selectioncaret.noneditable"?

Ah, I think I missed the selectioncaret.noneditable pref. After adding the pref and moving the focus before selection API, it works fine now. Thanks!
