See Comms pages of attached spec. User should be able to select text entered in Contacts search field, and user entered (not user *selected*) fields in single contact entry. * Input fields (input areas, input dialogs and search fields) are the only Building Blocks with selectable text. * HTML elements like buttons or links, or events like ontouchstart or onclick, should trigger the action when tapped rather than triggering text selection.

The Gecko work is close to completion, the remaining part is to fix test case failures then pref it on in m-c bug 1092888. After the bug landed, text selection and cut/copy/paste be triggered in apps on both editable and non-editable elements. Gaia per app work in v2.2 is to follow UX guideline and leverage CSS -moz-user-select https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/user-select to make certain elements non-selectable. Before Gecko is pref on in m-c, Gaia can manually switch it on by the following two pref to test in advance: pref("selectioncaret.enabled", on); pref("selectioncaret.noneditable", on);

Scheduling for next sprint, hopefully we can start even before 2.2

This is a 2.2 feature.

Hi Sergi, Are you actively working on this? May need to update target milestone to reflect actual plan. This feature is still in 2.2 scope.

Hi, we have sync offline and I'll steal this feature from Segi :)

Comment on attachment 8535544 [details] [PullReq] arcturus:bug-1092430 to mozilla-b2g:master Hi Sergi, tiny change, you'll need to add the prefs to your build to enable this.

Comment on attachment 8535544 [details] [PullReq] arcturus:bug-1092430 to mozilla-b2g:master Hi :howie! Right now we just disabled the text selection in the whole document, we realised that (at least with current implementation) text selection is enabled for input fields, that is what contacts needs. Does this sounds good to you?

Hi Francisco, yes, this sounds great, thank you!

Hi, After applying your patch, the contact name in search result should not be selectable.

:gduan, thanks, I needed to force no text selection on the search results, now patch is updated.
