Summary: When a JavaScript bookmarklet in Safari for iPhone 3.0 uses window.getSelection(), it does not work. The selection is removed as soon as the bookmarks menu is opened. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a JavaScript bookmarklet that uses window.getSelection(), like the one here: https://junecloud.com/ds/grab/ or the "view selection" one here: https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/pagedata.html 2. Open a web page 3. Select some text 4. Tap the bookmarks button 5. Select the bookmarklet Expected Results: The bookmarklet should be able to access the selected text. Actual Results: As soon as the bookmarks button is tapped, the selection is removed, so the script is unable to see what text was selected. Regression: N/A Notes: N/A
