Most sites aren't even gonna find out about it in a two week period, let alone be able to fix it.

(Side note: Google has broken the text selection on this page, at least in Firefox. Didn't try in Chrome. Copy/pasting a paragraph was a trial.)

Coping test seems to work fine in Chrome and Safari, so don't think Google broke anything in regards to text selection/copy/paste on the page.

Something's definitely misbehaving in Firefox on the page. Using a mouse to highlight text in a comment and then trying to move the highlight to the next paragraph, the selection jumps to the first paragraph as soon as the cursor leaves the `span` of each paragraph.

From a quick look at the DOM, I'd bet dollars to donuts it's the weird combination of custom WebComponents and the #shadow-root stuff and other various markup excess that they just didn't bother to test with Firefox. Whether it's a bug with Firefox itself and how these elements are handled, I guess would need some investigation. But if it were my web app, I'd probably just fix it instead of blaming the browser.

The text isn't rendering at all in Safari/Mac. (Momentarily too lazy/tired to find out why. 2am here.)

Why is a simple, factual report downvoted? Should I add a screenshot?

If you create a new Firefox profile alongside your usual one, and do not change any settings, can you reproduce the copy paste issue you’re seeing?

Huh, TIL. I suppose I'd recommend a report to Webcompat.

Tried with a brand new Firefox profile, on OSX. Still wonky.

Works fine in Firefox, too.

Not for me on OSX. New FF profile to rule out extensions/settings; https://youtu.be/XGTyDQGTC4E.
