No screenshot option in context menu when text has been selected

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0
Steps to reproduce:
It's common practice with screenshots to select some text with the mouse, as a means to highlight the text. For instance: https://twitter.com/martinkrafft/status/1084884562226733056
However, once text is selected, the right-mouse-button menu of Firefox no longer has the option to take a screen shot. It's still possible to go via the page actions, but it would be nice if the context menu also had the option.
Actual results:
Once a text selection has been made, the context menu no longer shows the screenshot option.
Expected results:
For consistency, the screenshot option should be available, even when text has been selected, and there is no real reason why that shouldn't be possible.

Hi,
Thank you for the feedback and for taking the time to report this.
I'll mark this issue as an enhancement and assign a component as the issue described seems general and is reproducible on other OS's also ( I've reproduced it on Win10 x64 on the latest Nightly 66.0a1 20190120213632).
In the mean time you can take screenshots with selected text included if you click on the Page actions menu in the address bar and select screenshots menu icon Take a Screenshot from the drop-down menu ( more info https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots ).

For Screenshots, I believe UI integration bugs are being taken care of at the GitHub repo where that project is managed (https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/). I've taken the liberty of re-filing this as a GitHub issue so that it can be addressed there:
https://github.com/mozilla-services/screenshots/issues/5330
and I'll close this one out as INVALID.
