I cannot select text in htlm forms, such as this. When I press and hold the input box becomes highlighted briefly, to then just show normally again.

As info, the cursor stays at the previous place and isn't moved to where I just pressed. I don't think I've seen this behavior prior to 1.0.3.8.

@Mohjive this has been the issue at least for me all the time.

I think there is also existing question for this as well, but not yet found it

I couldn't find one either, that's why I posted a new question. There's a similar question regarding QML TextInput, but I couldn't understand if they are the same.

I had this in my mind => https://together.jolla.com/question/15795/text-editing-in-browser-is-lacking-features/

What do you think is it the same or close enough?

I need to select text not only in forms, but also in any webpages ! I should be able to select for copy/pasting any text displayed on a page…

i agree thats a feature request where html elements are analyzed for being txt or not and selectable on the browser screen directly!
