  * Disable predictive text on the search field to ensure results are
    filtered as the user types.
  * Give ToolbarAction a default font color.
  * Make a flaky unit test more robust by ensuring that the list view
    has been updated before testing its contents.
  * Silence the warnings issued by the favicon fetcher when the server
    replies with an error. Those warnings can easily flood the console
    when opening the history view, thus making it difficult to spot
    legitimate console output.
  * Updated translation template to include new strings for upcoming
    branch that implements a context menu on tabs (wide mode).

  [ Riccardo Padovani ]
  * Use right icon in tab switcher to open a new tab when in private
    mode

  [ Ugo Riboni ]
  * Implement search within the history view (only from the widescreen
    version)
  * Implement the visual refresh for the tabs in all screen modes.

Title:
  [desktop] No context menu for text selection

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Since version 0.23+15.10.20150827.3-0ubuntu1, the context menu has
  been overhauled to use the contextMenu API new in oxide 1.8, which
  allows access to more contextual information, including the currently
  selected text on the page. However the menu implementation doesn’t
  take advantage of that, and doesn’t offer any contextual action for
  text selection.

  This is not yet visible for end users as text selection with a mouse
  didn’t work until very recently (bug #1459392), and the fix will be
  released with oxide 1.9. When oxide 1.9 is out, text selection with a
  mouse will work in the browser, so we should have contextual actions
  for it (copy and share, I guess).
