Description nkomura@wikimedia.org 2010-02-11 19:45:48 UTC
In IE8 on Windows 7

Intermittently, text highlight for copy does not work.  The similar issue has been reported at Village Pump of Japanese Wikipedia.  

Script warning that the script is slowing down browsing the page, pops up and prompts to turn off the script.
Comment 1 nkomura@wikimedia.org 2010-02-11 20:17:46 UTC
The problem is reported on IE7 on Vista and IE8 on XP SP3, but does not occur with IE6.

Another Scenario : if a user copy and paste a text from the editor to the same editor in IE8, and try to select the pasted text, sometimes it not get selected.

These JS errors were fixed in r62580.
Comment 7 Trevor Parscal 2010-02-17 00:47:12 UTC
You can reproduce this consistently by clicking on the table of contents. The first few items in the TOC will restore selection ability, while all others will break it. There may be some selection bugs that are causing this to happen.
Comment 8 Trevor Parscal 2010-02-18 00:22:20 UTC
Now that we use classified <p> tags instead of adding in <span> tags, this has gone away. We understood it to be the result of setting the selection to within an empty element.
