User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build ID: 20151014143721 Steps to reproduce: I've copied the text from the list made by DIVs with list-style-type attribute. Actual results: Only the text is copied, but not the marker. Expected results: All the text is copied.
list-style-type styles a pseudo class (the marker), and pseudo classes aren't part of the DOM, hence can't be selected (and copied): http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#pseudo-elements

> hence can't be selected (and copied) This part actually does not follow. That's the behavior we have, but it's not required by any spec.
Resolution: INVALID → DUPLICATE
