The quotation marks can be selected, when using the CTRL+A combination. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit URL. 2. Try to select text with the mouse (or with the caret) 3. Be sad because of the lack of success. Actual Results: The quotation marks belonging to the blockquote > p elements won't be selected. Expected Results: The quotation marks belonging to the blockquote > p elements should definitely be selected (so that we can copy them out)
The problem is that selection is implemented in terms of DOM ranges and these aren't in the DOM.... :( So fixing this requires a complete rewrite of how selection works.
