788533 - Reader Mode: selected text is not highlighted

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Text Selection, defect)

Description

[Cristian Nicolae (:xti)]

Attachment: screenshot

Firefox 16.0b2 (2012-09-04)
Device: Galaxy Nexus
OS: Android 4.1.1

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Firefox for Android
2. Go to news.google.com and load any news from the list
3. Tap on Reader Mode icon from URL Bar
4. Long tap on text
5. Move around the text selectors

Expected result:
Since step 4, the selected text will be highlighted.

Actual result:
After step 4 and 5, the text between the selectors is not highlighted as you can see in the attached screenshot.

NOTE: So far I could reproduce this issue just on Galaxy Note, so it might be a specific device bug.

I don't have a Galaxy Note to test. We should make sure this isn't still an issue on that device before we close this.

Not sure if xti is still around, so I wonder if aaronmt can QA this or find someone?
