Re: [w3c/editing] Chrome: Selection barrier at details element when contenteditable=true (Issue #538)

> Michael Aufreiter described the issue where, in Chromium-based browsers, 
\<details\> elements create a selection boundary that prevents users from 
selecting text across the element. He noted that other browsers do not 
exhibit this behavior.
He mentioned that he has a reproducible test case and will add a link to 
it in the issue.
Michael asked whether this behavior is unintended and, if so, whether it 
should be treated as a browser bug, as it causes usability issues for 
web-based editors.
Dan Clark agreed that the behavior appears to be a Chromium bug and 
recommended filing an issue in the Chromium bug tracker.
Olli Pettay suggested removing the agenda+ label from the issue and 
adding a comment indicating that the next step is to follow up with 
Chromium.
Michael agreed and filed the Chromium bug 
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/533026453.
