1814184 - Selecting text with mouse is impossible in Firefox for Android, it selects the entire bottom half of the page instead of where I select.

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Browser Engine, defect)

Description

[Jeff Boek [:boek]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/26840.

Steps to reproduce

Goto https://duckduckgo.com/search?q=test
Try to select the title of the first result using a wired or wireless mouse. I tested with a trackball mouse and a traditional mouse that you have to move around on a pad.

Expected behaviour

It should select the result title text when I leftclick on the beginning of the title and drag the cursor the end of the title.

Actual behaviour

It selects the entire page.
