1189486 - draggable element interferes with input elements

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[GE]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.125 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.125 Safari/537.36

Trying to select text inside a text area which is a children of a draggable element doesn't work.
I am trying to select the text with the mouse by either double click on word or drag through text.

For instance:
 <div id="draggableDiv" draggable="true">
        <textarea class="textArea">Inside draggable (broken)</textarea>
 </div>



Actual results:

No text is selected.

Workaround is to use the ALT or (SHIFT/LEFT or RIGHT) or see my jsfiddle for another alternative.

Expected results:

Text should have been selected.

FWIW, just ran into this issue, and I think it might be a dupe of this older bug:

I'd also like to note this also seems to happen with any element with an onDrop and onDrag event, including file uploads.

Still happening, not a solution without breaking the functionality.
