[Bug 1361322] [NEW] Webapps don't support selecting by dragging

 

Public bug reported:

The webbrowser-app, and therefore webapps, don't allow you to click and
drag to select text. Selecting text using keyboard (e.g. by pressing
[ctrl]+[a] or by pressing and holding [shift] and then using arrow keys,
works as expected.

Test case:
1. Open a webapp (e.g. Gmail)
2. Try select text by clicking and dragging

Expected result:
Selected text is highlited from the point where we clicked to the point that we dragged to.

Actual result:
No selection occurs.
