Bug 96734 – Cannot select text within a label element that is linked to an input field

• Status: REOPENED
• Component: Forms

1. Go to: http://jsfiddle.net/FpcTz/
2. Try and select the label text either by double clicking or dragging over some of it.

The selection is lost and focus jumps to the field next to it. This happens for text within label tags that is linked to an input via the 'for' attribute.

I tried to merge this:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/5676

and the issue is:

```
        auto control = this->control();
```

If I try to change it to RefPtr then it leads to build failures. If I don't then it compiles but crashes on following test:

imported/blink/fast/forms/label/detached-document.html

While trying to find equivalent of "LocalFrame.h" header, it seems that Webkit has "Frame.h" as equivalent. I might try to add it and push it again in future but just wanted to comment so if someone else know, they can fix try it.
