So the text selection is done by javafx too? But the comment above implied that the text selection was done by the browser

It's configurable in JPro. In JPro you can say, that the text-elements should support the standard browser text selection. This is the case for https://www.jpro.one/ . The demos usually have this feature disabled - most of the demos are more like "rich desktop applications".

There's no text selection when you run FX code. See the demos section.

https://www.jfx-central.com/ is listed as a demo and it has text selection

Not universally. Notice the widgets that have text selection seem like HTML. That's because they are. FX supports embedding HTML. But then it scrolls oddly.
