document.onselectionchange is not fired when we click on an img. I have attached simple html page using which this is reproducible. Clicking anywhere in the <p> tag results in onselectionchange being called, but this not fired when clicked on the img. Verified on Chrome 24 on Windows 7 and OSx 10.7 as well. Thanks.

Returning 'true' from HTMLImageElement::CanStartSelection() will fix this issue.

This isn't about selectionchange event not being fired. It's just that WebKit doesn't move selection when clicked on an image element. Given that this is also the behavior observed on Firefox and native applications like TextEdit, I don't think we should change our behavior.

Comment on attachment 188866 [details] Patch for HTMLImageElement.cpp r- because the current behavior is desirable.

It looks like this is an invalid bug report. FWIW, I get the same behavior in Firefox as I do in WebKit, which makes me think that the existing behavior is correct.

Mass move bugs into the DOM component.
