Public bug reported: The webbrowser-app, and therefore webapps, don't allow you to click and drag to select text. Selecting text using keyboard (e.g. by pressing [ctrl]+[a] or by pressing and holding [shift] and then using arrow keys, works as expected.
Test case: 1. Open a webapp (e.g. Gmail) 2. Try select text by clicking and dragging Expected result: Selected text is highlited from the point where we clicked to the point that we dragged to. Actual result: No selection occurs.
