In Ruffle, a user can't use the mouse to select text inside an input box.
One cannot right-click inside the text input to open the copy / paste tool box.
Ctrl+c and ctrl+v don't work either.

You'll find the stripped down example here: https://www.txori.com/stuff/ruffle/

and the cursor keeps flashing when you move it with your arrow keys. you also can't use the up or down keys to navigate, or use other keyboard shortcuts such as ctrl+left/right. (i'm pretty sure there are issues for what i'm saying already)

And I forgot about the useful double click to select an entire word!

I would be very excited to see this feature implemented. This is currently hindering the use of our flash application (located here: https://www.uniteddie.com/dct.html

I believe it's being worked on here: #2081

Testing with nightly 5/27/24, highlighting the text with the mouse now works and I can copy and paste using ctrl+C and ctrl+V, the only issue that's left now is the right click copy paste tool box.

Context menu for copy pasting should work now, which satisfies all the points in the first post. Ctrl+left or right also seems to work on my end, so the only issues left seem to be double clicking to highlight a word, not being able to use the up and down keys to move in editable text boxes, and another issue i'm seeing with double or triple highlight lines showing up when moving around to certain spots.
