Description Ryan Farmer 2018-12-23 11:33:33 PST 
WebkitGTK+ browsers occasionally delete all text from an input field when using "select all". First it selects all of the text and then it wipes it all out.

It doesn't always or even usually happen. It's seemingly random, but happens often enough that it can strike 2 or 3 times over a couple of days.

So far, this one has bitten me on Reddit, Riot.im, and the Webkit Bugzilla.

Seems to happen under Wayland and X11.

Using WebkitGTK+ 2.22.5 on Fedora 29 and Epiphany 3.30.2.

Apparently, it can also happen when you highlight the text yourself.
