Hi,

When i added a text block or i want edit a text block, i cant select text with mouse click at Firefox browser.
Not any problem at Chrome / IE browser.

Thanks

We used shadow dom to isolate styles, but the selection API is not widely supported. Maybe we will migrate shadow dom to iframe.

When I open FF with debug console there is unsupported function for ShadowRoot API: getSelection.
See https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_shadowroot_getselection .
Can you fix it please at this line?
const range = (getShadowRoot() as any).getSelection().getRangeAt(0);

Is it possible use this polyfill? https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/shadow-selection-polyfill

Hi @applibs!

I've had the same issue and I found that you can use this polyfill as a workaround. It's not complete, but it does solve the problem for Firefox and Safari.

Here's the link to the original discussion: GoogleChromeLabs/shadow-selection-polyfill#11

Hope this helps :)

I am not participiant and I dont want be. Please fix it for others too. Thx.

Otherwise, Mozila has a whole other set of problems and it's basically unusable in FF.

1. Double-click selection when text is formatted
2. normal selection when text is formatted
3. Select placeholder

Please change this line: backgroundColor: 'var(--color-bg-5);',
with: backgroundColor: 'var(--color-bg-5)',

FF does not like semicolon there.
