User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Select one or more text regions on page through the use of CTRL-Click and drag. CTRL-Click and drag, starting within an already selected text region.

Actual results:

Prior selected text region is dragged for copy, identical to standard Click and drag.

Expected results:

Initiates a text de-selection process (possibly bounded within the contiguous section of prior selected text). If a user is CTRL-clicking to select multiple regions, there should be a similar operation to de-select subsections within prior selected regions.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Hey Kagami, does OP describe the behavior you would expect on Windows?

No, haven't seen such behavior on other apps so far. It might be convenient as there currently is no way to partially deselect via mouse, though.
