118461 - Selecting text should select its text-decorations (e.g. underline) as well

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 35146

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

If you select some text under windows, it will typically display a selection
with the system's set selection color as background and white as foreground
color for the text.

This foreground color should apply to underlines, overlines, strike-throughs
etc. too.

Are you selecting the entire underlined element, or just part of it?

Look at the difference in how we select underlines in these screenshots.

This bug is for making all text-decorations obey the selection. BTW, the bug is
maybe pp (Windows-only).

There's another big problem with Mozilla's behaviour:
If the system's selection color is the same as page's you're viewing background,
it's VERY hard to see the selection in Mozilla.
In IE, the selection color is text's/background's negative.

Comment 8 has nothing to do with this bug.

This bug is a dup.
