    <thetext>This issue is specific to Safari on iOS. It doesn&apos;t happen in Safari on macOS, nor in other browsers.

We (noVNC) have a canvas where we grab all UI events (keyboard, mouse, touch), pass them on to the remote system, and call preventDefault() to avoid both a local and remote action.

For the most part, this works well, but not for selections on iOS. There are two primary cases we&apos;ve seen:

 * Pressing Cmd+A
 * Double-clicking

In these cases, we get a local selection in Safari as well, which means we get a blue overlay annoying the user.

We&apos;re trying to work around most of it by using -webkit-user-select, but it is difficult to handle all cases.</thetext>
