I can't select discrete runs of text in FF4. I can only do select-all. Am I missing something? > In some tests, it seems to me, that text in a<use> can't select, but in Fox. > Is this right? I could argue it either way. This aspect of the shadow-DOM is murky. While I see the desirability of text-selection in <use>, I could also see why the text would simply be treated as a visual representation within a <use> element, and not be selectable. <tref> should be selectable, but that isn't yet implemented in FF. The spec is totally underspecified on this point. Implementations, accordingly, differ. FF and Opera don't allow text selection in <use>. WebKit (Safari, Chrome) do. Opera and WebKit allow text selection of <tref>. I haven't yet tested IE9 for any of this. The most interesting behavior around text selection is Opera 11... when you select the original text, the <use>d text also shows the selection rendering. Kinda cool. Lends itself to the argument that the effect is visual, not a reflection of the original DOM, at least in Opera. Here's a sample file: http://schepers.cc/svg/text-use.svg SVG 2 will specify all this. What do people think is the best behavior?
