Sorry for the late reply.
That would mean the following would not work:
selecting text-->making it bold(via button)-->making it underlined(via button)-->making it to a link(via button).
There are valid use cases for selections and manipulations.
I think the only way to work against such a thing would be to display the selected text in a tooltip like window, like another user described.
- yellowapple 7y agoThe web app could maintain its own start and end points for the selection (independent of what the browser deems "selected") and apply those operations to the text within that internally-defined range. None of those things affect visibility, though, nor do they change the actual content (just the styling/appearance), so the "deselect on visibility or content change" approach wouldn't impact that at all anyway.
