1948588 - View-source of selection only shows the first range if the selection consists of several ranges

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect, P3)

Description

[Jan Jaeschke [:jjaschke]]

This can be reproduced either by selecting multiple ranges (using CTRL), or by selecting something that will be represented by multiple ranges internally. Example: Select several bugzilla comments in a page.

Expected: All ranges should be visible in the view-source view.
Actual: Only the first range is shown.

Seems like we only handle a single selection range at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/9c395b6371eaea0d15f9c8a37889022be350cf0b/toolkit/actors/ViewSourcePageChild.sys.mjs#285

STRs:

• select multiple ranges in a page, possibly in different elements (using CTRL or CMD while selecting)
• right click
• click on "View selection source"
