Description Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-02-27 22:50:34 UTC 
This is a tracking bug for the Firefox/Gecko bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369389

getNSelections() always returns O.   If  Gecko won't tell us what text is selected, we cannot identify selected text in Firefox or Thunderbird.
Comment 1 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-04-21 03:29:43 UTC 
The bug we're tracking has been marked as FIXED, and I have verified that getNSelections() is no longer returning 0.  Now it's just a matter of implementing selection in Gecko.py -- which is bug 412100.  Therefore, I'm closing this one out as NOTGNOME.
