Our native selection handles don't zoom with the page after a pinch zoom). It would be nice for the platform ones to not do so as well (although their positions will have to update as the page changes size. That ensure that they're big enough to tap zoomed out desktop pages.

Snorp, I know we've wanted this before. Any idea how we'd do it?

There is some new position:fixed-like thing in development that will not zoom with the page. I can't for the life of me seem to find it, though. We could use that. Kats, Chris, do you know what I'm talking about?

OK, the thing I was thinking about is called 'device-fixed'. Apparently it's supported on iOS and BB WebKit. I don't see any bugs about it, so I assume we do not intend to implement it yet.

Never heard of it.

Nevermind, nobody implements it. There is just a dude writing about it here: http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2010/12/the_fifth_posit.html

Anyway, I want that.

I think someone on a bug once mentioned how to do this, maybe it was roc?

You may be thinking of bug 1021527, specifically https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1021527#c10. Making the caret immune to async zoom would require a new layer attribute, with supported from APZ and layout to expose it somehow.
