Description Pierre Ossman 2022-12-13 07:10:33 PST 
This bug is specific to Safari on iOS. It is not seen on Safari on macOS, or with other browsers.

If you click and drag, or do Cmd+A, elements that have the style "visibility: hidden" also get selected. This looks very odd as you get strange selection markers in odd places.

You can test it here:

Start the selection on the "noVNC" text, and then drag the markers around to get free floating selection markers over empty areas.
