Can you please attach a test case to the bug demonstrating the problem that you're seeing? Created attachment 31347 [details]
A simple HTMl file that will illustrate the inadvertent text selection in a reflection.
Selecting the text in the original object will select the text in the reflection object. I believe this is a bug. If you have the debug window open at the same time, this can also cause your window to jump to the lowest bounds of the viewable selected text in the reflection. I did not notice this latter effect on regular small-viewport windows, however.
I don't think this is a bug. The selection is of the original text, and should be reflected like any other effect and as would happen with a mirror. A few things, as a website developer: 1. I consider reflection to be purely presentational. As with all presentation-only functionality, the main desire is simply the ability to control the visual output. This does not exist currently. 2. Reflection of a selection is a large visual distraction (buzzword: accessibility). 3. On a more personal note, this is not the functionality that I desire in the demonstration of this feature I am building. So, this may not be a bug, but at the very least it should be considered for inclusion as an enhancement request. Still exists. No activity for nearly five years. |
