1. Go to the a page containing iframe content, for instance <http://www.psy.ed.ac.uk/people/tbates/thingsIWant.html> 2. cmd-A to select the page, and cmd-C to place the content on the clipboard 3. examine clipboard in Finder, or paste into a text editor Expected: The visible text of the page Obtained: no text on the clipboard (bar a couple of returns from the table, in the instance above) This bug is annoying, as it means the user cannot copy the content of pages to which they navigate.

Our behaviour in not copying iframe contents is consistent with Firefox on Mac OS X, but the rendering of the selection shading over iframes is misleading to users. I'm not convinced that Select All + Copy should copy the contents of any iframes as they are conceptually separate documents. At the least, I think the selection rectangles should be rendered in a less misleading fashion.
