Summary <br> between absolutely-positioned elements messes up text selection
nicolo.ribaudo
Reported 2024-02-19 09:48:14 PST
Created attachment 469963 [details] Reproduction I have three elements: <span style="position:absolute;top:40px;left:50px">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</span> <br> <span style="position:absolute;top:60px;left:100px">Morbi et ipsum a tortor pellentesque</span> When selecting text across the two sentences, I would expect the selection to only highlight those two spans. This works properly on Safari on MacOS. However, on Safari on iOS, it seems to increase the line-height of the second span to reach the `<br> element, as well as selecting `<br>`'s line.
