Tapping outside description text after selecting it must hide selection tool
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Consider a user clicks in the description accidentally which results in the description text being selected. He then tries to tap outside the description text to deselect the text (as the selection possibly nags the user). It doesn't hide the selection tool as in other cases like selecting article text.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to the Himalayas article
  2. Tap the lead image
  3. Select some text in the description
  4. Tap outside the selection

Expected results
The selection tool is hidden.

Actual results
The selection tool remains. This isn't in line with other parts of the app in which the selection tool is hidden when the user taps outside the selection.
