Phenomenon
On iOS Safari, double-tapping on a contenteditable region triggers page zoom instead of word selection. This interferes with the expected text editing behavior.
Reproduction example
- Open a page with a contenteditable region on iOS Safari.
- Double-tap on a word within the contenteditable.
- Observe whether the page zooms or the word is selected.
Observed behavior
- In iOS Safari, double-tap triggers page zoom.
- Word selection does not occur as expected.
- The zoom interferes with text editing workflow.
Expected behavior
- Double-tap should select the word, not zoom the page.
- Or, zoom should be disabled for contenteditable regions.
- Text selection should work as expected on mobile devices.
