Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Paul Rouget [:paul]]

Attachment: screencast

Selecting text drag the iframe instead. And triple-click also select text from outside the iframe. See attached screencast.

<iframe remote="true" src="http://example.com/" mozbrowser></iframe>

STR 1:
- mouse down on a character
- move mouse

ER:
- text gets selected as mouse move

AR:
- Nothing is selected, or, iframe is being drag & dropped


Getting this JS error:
JavaScript error: file:///Users/paul/mozilla/gecko-projects/obj.noindex/dist/B2G.app/Contents/Resources/components/contentAreaDropListener.js, line 106: TypeError: dataTransfer is null

STR 2:
- triple click on a paragraph

ER:
- Only text in iframe is selected

AR:
- Text outside of the iframe is also selected

This doesn't happen if -moz-user-select is set to none (on the iframe).

Comment 3

Closing as invalid because remote mozbrowser iframes no longer exist.
