What?
This PR fixes an issue where when a block contains
inputortextarea, its values cannot be selected with the mouseclick.Why?
This problem is related to the Firefox bug: - 965800 - Text cursor (caret) ignores mouse click on inputs with draggable parent
In Firefox, the
draggableandcontenteditableattributes don't play well. Therefore, there is logic inside it that removes thedraggableattribute when you click inside thecontenteditableelement.However, this logic does not apply to
inputandtextareaelements, as they do not have thecontenteditableattribute, even though they have text that is clickable with the mouse.How?
Add a check whether the clicked element is
inputortexteareaelement or not. I would have liked to use theisInputOrTextArea()function, but it's not exposed.Testing Instructions
