Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 770446

(Firefox :: PDF Viewer, defect, P3)

Description

Attachment: Uebung5.pdf

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141113143407

Steps to reproduce:

I marked text in the attached file.


Actual results:

If I mark several lines and my mouse is between the lines then the browser suddenly marks text above the point where I started marking until my mouse hits the next line, then it marks the text from the starting point till my mouse.

another issue related to marking text:
using shift + arrow keys results in hole pages being marked instead of one more line of marked text


Expected results:

it should always mark the text from the starting point to my mouse

2nd issue:
it should only mark the next/previous line (depending on the arrow key you pressed)

Attachment: Mouse is between the lines

I marked all lines from the red marked starting point till my mouse but it marks the text above the starting point because my mouse is in between the lines

Attachment: mouse is in line

my mouse is now hovering a text line, so that the text gets marked correctly

Comment 3

Attachment: before shift + arrow down (I marked some text)

Comment 4

Attachment: after shift + arrow down

I pressed shift + arrow down and it marked the text below and the whole next page (including the background) and scrolled down to the beginning of the next page

I scrolled a bit upwards so that you can see what parts are marked in which way

I think this is the same problem as bug 911087 and bug 770446.
