Consider merging https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/50bbb9f6ab3394327e8fa63312316e6ae217a7a2 This patch introduces PositionWithAffinity as return value of RenderObject::positionForPoint() for making CSS property user-select:none doesn't affect Document.caretRangeFromPoint() and changes caretRangeFromPoint() to use Position instead of VisiblePosition, which excludes user-select:none.

I wonder if user-select:none breaks OS X Dictionary.

8+ years later and this bug is still present which makes certain functionality difficult if not impossible to replicate in iOS.

I changed the test case from patch to JSFiddle: Link - https://jsfiddle.net/4p7rexLf/ *** Safari 15.6.1 on macOS 12.5.1 / STP 151 *** FAIL range.startContainer should be [object Text]. Was [object Text]. FAIL range.startOffset should be 2. Was 0. PASS range.collapsed is true PASS successfullyParsed is true *** Firefox Nightly 105 *** FAIL successfullyParsed should be true (of type boolean). Was undefined (of type undefined). *** Chrome Canary 106 *** PASS range.startContainer is $("sample").firstChild PASS range.startOffset is 2 PASS range.collapsed is true PASS successfullyParsed is true ______________ Just wanted to share updated test results. Thanks!

Thanks! I get: PASS range.startContainer is $("sample").firstChild PASS range.startOffset is 2 PASS range.collapsed is true PASS successfullyParsed is true TEST COMPLETE Before Test After In Safari Technology Preview 162 - I think we can mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED" now. Thanks!

Working as expected in Safari 16.5 (might as well be in Safari 16.4).
