#5017: OSM share link text box selects URL text automatically (that is: messes
around with user's UI)

 Priority:  minor        |  Milestone:
Component:  website      |    Version:
 Keywords:  share        |

 * CSS path: html body.site div.wrapper div#content.clearfix div#map-ui div
 .share-ui div.section form.standard-form div.form-row input#long_input
 * Example content: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/40.0243/2.7801

 The text box of the share panel automatically highlights/selects all text
 as soon as you try to select the text in it. You have no chance to
 manually select the whole or a part of the text. That for example destroys
 middle click behaviour (select to copy, middle click to paste) which I
 would like to use. At least that is the case in Firefox 24. In Chromium 30
 the text is copied to the middle-click clipboard.  For Firefox the only
 workaround is to use Ctrl+C or right click and "copy".

 Please let the user decide what and how he wants to copy/select! Do not
 mess around with the UI for advantage of one style of usage but for
 disadvantage of another style of usage, please.
