Created attachment 474581 [details] Demo of the issue In Chrome and Safari, clicking/tapping on elements that have `user-select: none;` do not clear selections within other elements. Firefox behaves as expected, and lets you clear any selection by tapping anywhere. A demo of the issue is attached, can also be found here: https://testcase.rejh.nl/testcase-user-select-none-clear-selection/ Reproduce: 1. Go to https://testcase.rejh.nl/testcase-user-select-none-clear-selection/ 2. Select some text in a message box (has `user-select: text;`) 3. Tap anywhere (except on a message box) to try and clear the selection Expected result: Tapping outside the selection should clear the selection. Actual result: The selection is not cleared.
