> Right. On IE, you need to drag mouse top-down. Nonetheless, IE lets you select text. The difference comes from the way hit-testing in IE & WebKit work.


After trying several times I managed to cause the bug in IE, I need to place the caret after the offset at line end, or before the offset at line start. Then move the mouse the opposite direction.

Nothing but a bug in IE.

Nevertheless, I don't have the bug in IE for my project. There, I could stop the mouse down event to prevent text selection, then use element.setCapture() to receive all the mouse events to implement my own text selection behavior.

In Webkit, I could stop the mouse down the same way (stopping native text selection). But then I lose the capture, and there is no setCapture() API in webkit...
