This is also reproducible on Desktop Firefox with 1) Using Devtools -> Responsive Design mode 2) set about:config layout.accessiblecaret.enabled : true and layout.accessiblecaret.hide_carets_for_mouse_input : false

---

So i guess Core-> DOM:Selection might be the proper component.

I guess that turning the SVG icon is misunderstood as dragging in the element even without a pointer move, anyway, let's ask TYLin.

Thanks for the bug report! I think this is a dup of bug 1698629 since the icon is an <svg> element. Single-clicking on the <svg> actually (wrongly) makes a selection. With AccessibleCaret enabled, it just makes the problem more obvious.

Could we fix this on GeckoView side? (Since this isn't annoying in Desktop side)

Possible solution: do not show selection when selected text content is empty.

Sorry, I think it again. this only prevents the menu show, but won't prevent the carets show.
