Issue descriptionChrome Version : 59.0.3071.104 OS Version: OS X 10.12.5 URLs (if applicable) : http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/10/03/famous-names Other browsers tested: Safari 10.1.1: OK Firefox 54.0: OK *** Please look at the attached video to see the problems better. *** FIRST PROBLEM Start selecting by mouse dragging from the end of the first line of second paragraph, backwards. As you go a little bit taller, there’s a zone where it selects the rest of the second paragraph, instead of what you’re pointing at. It’s jarring and confusing. SECOND PROBLEM Start selecting by mouse dragging from the end of first paragraph, trying to get last sentence. It’s impossible to select the first “T” just by dragging across it.

An observation using codepen sample in c#1: Chrome prior to 48.0.2556.0 allowed selecting letters in "Sed" after the first "S". It was changed between 358019 (one letter excluded) and 358023 (entire word excluded) https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/89aa4257..b4837882?pretty=fuller Suspecting r358020 "Make most{Backward,Forward}CaretPosition() to handle first-letter pseudo element" Note, both old and new behavior are incorrect. BTW, Internet Explorer 11 correctly handles selection in this case.

* This was reported 8 years ago in issue 17528, which is still open. * The amount of unselectable letters depends on number of whitespace characters in HTML after the opening tag, <p> in this case is followed by 3 characters. Reported and explained in issue 406218 . * Also related: issue 734057

As #c3 said :first-letter doesn't work well. We'll change :first-letter fix in layout NG, since layout NG will support mapping from rendered characters and DOM text node. |
