Details

For SVGs with pointer-events:none, we should consider not bringing up the text-selection UI when the user taps on them. Chrome appears to do this, based on the CSS I'm seeing on this site.

By viewing that page in responsive design touch emulation mode, and "tapping" on icons on the bottom bar (home icon, etc), the text-selection UI is brought up in Firefox, but not in Chrome.

Chrome appears to be treating pointer-events:none on the SVG as though it implies user-select:none.
