Title:
  [desktop] No context menu for text selection

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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).
