The selection mechanism has never had the ability to select a single line or multiple words. It works by selecting HTML elements, so if a paragraph of text is within a <p> or <div> block, the smallest selection possible is that block. Until we get proper text selection in oxide, I’m afraid we can’t do better than that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324292 Title: re-add support for selecting text for copying Status in Oxide Webview: New Status in Web Browser App: Confirmed Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: in the qtwebkit browser we had the ability to create a selection region with handles for resizing. needs to bring this back for oxide based browser.
