Hi perfectdaemon,

I didn’t manage to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 x64 on latest Nightly (2018-06-04), Firefox Release 60.0.1. and Firefox Beta 61.0b11.
In my case the text selecetion from the first input will reset after switching to the other text input field via TAB or by clicking on it. Did I understood correctly the steps or should I proceed differently?

Can you please retest the issue using a new clean Firefox profile (https://goo.gl/AWo6h8) as well as safe mode (https://goo.gl/AR5o9d) on the latest Firefox Nightly (2018-06-04) to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause and report back the result?

Thank you.

Hi Timea Babos,

My bad, I didn't mention that you should uncomment at least one of style properties at codepen. I've edit example, so now it could be reproduced this way:

1) Open example at codepen
2) Write text in both inputs
3) Select text in first input
4) Click at second input and try to select some text in it

Result: Text selection at first input doesn't reset
Expected result: Text selection at first input reset

I've tested it with clean profile and safe mode on Windows 10 x64, FireFox version 60.0.1. It's still here. Can't check it on Beta version.

Best wishes

Hi perfectdaemon,

That actually helped, I reproduced the issue on Firefox Release 60.0.2, Firefox Beta 61.0b11 and latest Nightly 62.0a1 (2018-06-07) using a clean new profile.

Thank you for the help!
