814274 - mobile.twitter.com does not allow user to select text while composing a text (because -moz-user-select:none)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

TL;DR? Twitter should use "-moz-user-select:-moz-none", not "-moz-user-select:none".

STR:
1. With Firefox for Android or desktop, load https://mobile.twitter.com/compose/tweet
2. Enter some text
3. Try to select the text

RESULT:
You cannot select the text or insert new text.

The problem is that mobile.twitter.com's CSS specifies "-moz-user-select:none", which regrettably behaves differently from "-webkit-user-select:none". Twitter should use "-moz-user-select:-moz-none" to get the WebKit-like behavior:

The title change here is incorrect. See one of the dupes here - this affects all platforms.

Seems this fix is rolled out (tested on desktop) - Karl or Lawrence, could you verify?

(Or does it just seem fixed to me because a fix for 816298 is in my Firefox 23?)

I see this styling:

.userselect {
    -moz-user-select: text;
}

so it seems RESOLVED FIXED is correct :)
