It's weird the bug occurs with "html {-moz-user-select: none;}",
but not with "body {-moz-user-select: none;}"

This actually seems to be working as expected, but jsfiddle may make it difficult to tell. That's because the "output" area is actually an iframe, and the html/body tags inside of it don't take up 100% of its height by default. As such, you can easily end up clicking on the iframe tag while thinking you're actually clicking on the html/body instead. You can still set the html tag to height:100% and -moz-user-select:none in order to cover up the iframe entirely and disable the click-selection.

As such, I'm resolving this as INVALID, as it's not really a bug as far as I can tell.
