(You need to click on either: a piece of text, or outside of the pages.)\r\n  *As far as I'm concerned, given the negative UX implications of it, this issue __needs__ to be fixed.*\r\n\r\n - [ ] The text-selection cursor is permanently displayed, when the cursor is positioned over a page (regardless if it's over selectable text, or not).\r\n\r\n - [ ] It's no longer possible to start the text-selection *just* outside of the text. This can make it much harder to e.g. select the text contents of a link, unless there is \"normal\" text surrounding it.\r\nFor example, try selecting the text of the vertical link on the first page of http://arxiv.org/pdf/1112.0542v1.pdf, with/without this patch.\r\n*This could probably be considered a minor issue, but since I noticed it, I at least wanted to mention it.*"}}
