[Bug 1504501] Re: Copying text from in a web page is not happening

 

This is an expected regression. The selection rectangle is not coming
back in its current form. Instead, a proper touch selection mechanism is
being implemented in oxide (see bug #1376268) which the browser will
leverage.

Note that the selection rectangle was broken beyond repair, the
functionality actually worked in very few corner cases, which is why the
decision was made to drop it (as it was blocking the implementation of
new context menus).
