Bug 72019 – Add support for user-select:all

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: HTML Editing

[Felix Gnass]

This would be really useful in situations where you want compound elements to be edited as a whole like the <figure> element in the following example:

  <div contentEditable="true">
      <p>
        Foo
      </p>
      <figure style="-webkit-user-select:all">
        <img src="">
        <caption>Foo</caption>
      </figure>
    </div>

The MDN docs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-user-select) say:

In HTML editor, if double-click or context-click occurred in sub-elements, the highest ancestor with this value will be selected.
