78850 - Images do not Change Visibly when Selected

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74029

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Wesley Crossman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.8.1+) Gecko/20010502
BuildID:    2001050204

When selecting text and images, the text is highlighted but images and widgets
are not. It is very disconcerting not to have these items not visibly selected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click and drag the mouse over text and pictures.

Actual Results:  The text is selected but images and widgets are visibly unchanged.

Expected Results:  The text, images, and widgets should all change to show
selection.

Suggested Change:  I think they should be highlighted in the color of the
selection area. Having them outlined might also work.

Hmm.  I didn't realize we actually copy images and form controls, probably
because we only handle the text on paste. We should indicate they are selected,
like IE does. Not sure who all would need to work on this, but for now
confirming as such, and ->future.
