CX2: Text selection breaks when there is a citation in the middle
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

When selecting a sentence with a citation in the middle, the selection gets reseted as soon as the citation is included in the selection. This interferes in the select/copy/cut/paste workflow, making the editing experience less fluent. The issue is illustrated below:

The problem seems to be present in Firefox, but not in Chrome so there may be abrowser-specific aspect to it. In addition, the issue does not seem to happen on Visual Editor.

This issue was mentioned in a discussion, translating 1936 Cansiglio earthquake from English to Italian.

This doesn't seem to occur any more, I was able to make such selections in Firefox as well.

(Note that the reference doesn't visually look highlighted – that's T241880 – but I could still copy-paste it etc.)
