Chrome can drop. But Firefox cannot.
This is not a recent regression.

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open data:text/html,<textarea>1 select this text with Ctrl+A</textarea><p>2. Drag&drop this text to the above textarea</p>

  2. Click textarea and Ctrl+A to select all

  3. Select text below textarea and try to drag&drop to the above textarea

Actual Results:
cannot drop.

Expected Results:
Insertion point should display.
Selected text should be inserted at position of insertion point

Summary: Cannot drop text into textarea when textarea content is selected → Cannot drop text into textarea if textarea content is already selected

Yes, it is. But this is really long-standing bug because the check exists at least from bug 66290.

Priority: -- → P3

The highlight of the selected text in the defocused textarea is invisible. So, user cannot determine why drag&drop is not possible....

Severity: normal → S3
