Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/60.0.3112.78 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to NYT.com 2. click on any article 3. Try to highlight text/sentence What is the expected behavior? That text would become highlighted and I could copy and past that text to a new program (say, Word or email) What went wrong? The highlight function seemed completely disabled. Does not happen on other website when using Chrome. And does not happen on NYT website when using another brower (not Chrome). So there is something between Chrome and NYT that is not working. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 60.0.3112.78 Channel: stable OS Version: 10.0 Flash Version: This is a new issue with my new Dell Surface computer. It happens when in the desktop mode, using mousepad. (It can turn into a tablet.)

The page is doing this on purpose. They have a selectionstart, dragstart listeners to prevent users from selecting text. Behaves the same way on FireFox. |
