User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build ID: 20151014143721 Steps to reproduce: Selecting text in the browser will fail if the text elements contain an <svg> element with a nested <use> element. I put together a little CodePen that demonstrates the problem here: http://codepen.io/Ghazgkull/pen/VvVwLy Actual results: The text selection fails as soon as you try to select across an SVG with a <use> element. Expected results: The text selection should succeed, as it does for an SVG with a <path> element.
