           Summary: No way to select and move non-editable elements nested
                    inside editing hosts
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Editing
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: marcelphilipph at gmail.com


When an element, such as a div, is nested inside a contenteditable div, there
is no way to select the element as one and move it around the editing host.
This is noncompliant with the HTML 5 specification draft, which requires a
mechanism for this behaviour.

The consequences of this are a major loss of editing functionality as well as
noncompliance with HTML 5.

I suggest a fix by either (preferred) allowing the element to be moved about
seamlessly, such as a user might move an image or text box across a page in a
page layout app, or utilize a drag-and-drop mechanism, where the user would
initiate a drag operation and the element would only be moved to the new
position once the user has lifted the mouse bottom.
