Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_5; de-de) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.3 Safari/533.19.4
Build Identifier: 

In a web application of us some we disable selection on some widgets to ease drag and drop of them in the browser. However this triggers this bug that users cannot see that text highlighted when they search for it.

Since -moz-user-select should only disable selection of the user, this should not affect the engines highlighting of search results.

Also please note that select-all still correctly highlights all search results - so at least partway you are there already. :-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have some content with -moz-user-select:none
2. Search for it
3. See it not being highlighted
Actual Results:  
see 3.

Expected Results:  
It should be highlighted

I was able to reproduce this from Firefox 3.0 to 4 beta on Mac and Linux, so this is most likely not a platform specific issue.

This bug no longer reproduces. Can someone with the correct access rights close it?
