541011 - setCapture interacts badly with selection

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Timothy Nikkel (:tnikkel)]

Attachment: testcase

In the testcase try clicking and dragging on the blue div (so that setCapture is active on the div) then drag to select text below. I can select text from the first two divs but not the third.

IE seems to deny selection while a setCapture is active.

When I click on the blue box and drag down, I get the selection of the first two lines of text and then the selection of the numbers as they appear.

Hmm, now using the latest nightly I can select the numbers, but only the first line.

 this happens because you are destroying selection with setting innerHTML, appendChild works fine

yes selection selection shouldn't go out of element while a setCapture is active.
