Hi there. Appreciate the response!

I didn't know that the HTML DOM is being used for Uno's web output but that's good to hear. I was under the impression that things were being drawn to canvas (like how Flutter's web output works) but functionality like Ctrl-F (text search) works on https://gallery.platform.uno/, showing that's not the case.

I'm not sure why I had the impression that the web output used HTML canvas, but maybe that was something that changed since I last looked a few years ago or there might be another reason I was mistaken.

I think one misleading thing that gives the wrong impression is that text isn't selectable on Uno's web output (like https://gallery.platform.uno/), similar to how text isn't selectable on HTML canvas.

I think it's worth having a discussion about that with other employees, because it's one divergence from user expectations about how the web usually works (but application developers may also prefer to make text not selectable so it may be the behaviour you want in some cases after all).

Indeed, text selection is a specific behavior that was chosen to be disabled by default in order to be closer to the original behavior of WinUI on desktop. This is a configurable behavior on the TextBlock control, though.
