Even using the 'select all' option will miss the CSS generated content. At the URL provided, I attempted to highlight and copy the URL (branded IRI on the web site) so I could browser to the source page, but this wasn't possible in Firefox 1.0.4. As a site note, Opera 8 worked as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Browse to a web site which used the CSS 'content' generation property (see example). 2. Scroll to a quote which contains a 'Source IRI' (generated by CSS). 3. Attempt to highlight the URL (branded IRI on the example web site). Actual Results: Text generated by CSS isn't highlighted or selectable. Expected Results: CSS generated text to be highlighted in the same manor as the static text.
