Certain settings of the "-webkit-user-select" property cause "input" and "select" elements to behave inconsistently, specifically when a local setting is overriding a more strict global setting. The "text" and "none" values override correctly and consistently, but the "ignore" and "auto" behave differently. I believe the correct behavior would be consistency. If content within the input textbox can be selected, items within the select box should be selectable as well. A local setting of "auto" should allow each element to be selected based on it's element type, rather than on any parent setting. webkit-user-select:none input: not selectable select: not selectable webkit-user-select:ignore input: selectable select: not selectable webkit-user-select:text input: selectable select: selectable webkit-user-select:auto input: selectable select: not selectable

As far as I can tell by selecting all on the demo, the behavior is consistent now.
