Details

1) Open Firefox 2) Go to http://google.com 3) Long press "View" in "View Google in:" to activate text selection. 4) Drag text selection handles past main search input box. Expected: Selection continues around (or inside of) input box. Actual: Text selection is cancelled and the soft keyboard raises for input into the input box. This is probably because we're firing mouse events to do text selection and we're clicking inside the input box (thus related to bug 767799}.
Sounds like the same thing as 767799. Do we want to band-aid symptoms of using mouse events until a core change is made?
Fixed by bug 667243!
