Details

Linux, current apprunner. I've found a reproduceable case for what I call a "sticky selection". Find a plain text page in the browser, like test #1. mouse-down, select some text, go hover over the scroll bar, return to the window, mouse up. The text area doesn't get the mouse-up event and selection is pinned to your cursor now. Clicking again seems to get you out of this state.

Clearing Fixed resolution. Please set the milestone.
Target Milestone: M15
set milestone M15.
cc'ing myself. This after a quick look reminds me of the large focus issue the selection code has right now. That is going to be fixed soon. I'm hoping that waay sooner than M15!

moving to M11; I've seen stuff like this on Mac and it makes it very difficult to use the Editor when it gets into this state. This is a dogfood bug.
