I'm using the HTML widget wrapped with vertical scrollbars to tail incoming messages and then so the DOM doesn't get too big I remove old messages off the DOM unless they scroll up then I put them back. The only problem now is that if the scroll up and Click someplace then scroll down and Shift-Click to select that range to copy, I might have removed some of those old DOM entries so the copy will be short messages.
It seems the perfect solution is to clear/reset their first click which marked the start of the selection range, but how can I do this? I've seen a few examples of disabling text selection completely but that isn't what I want to do, I usually want to support that just not when I know I have removed some DOM entries. I'd just like to clear their first click if that's possible to do. If that's not possible then possibly disabling range selection when they do Shift-Click might work, or possibly just changing the Click location to be the same as the Shift-Click location might be good second options.
