Of all the topics I linked to in the OP, this is the only one that still seems to be an issue:

> [@Links to posts aren't auto-selected reliably](https://meta.discourse.org/t/links-to-posts-arent-auto-selected-reliably/39308):
>
> When clicking the share-button on a posts, the links is helpfully selected for easy copying: [image] However, this stops working most of the time as soon as I click on anything on the page, e.g. the white background. Afterwards, the popups still open, but without the text being preselected. Reloading the page temporarily fixes this. I’m running Chrome Version 48.0.2564.109 m (64-bit)

In a non-touch device the URL is a text field, default highlighted for copying. On a touch device, like my laptop, it is a hyperlink, not always highlighted. I’d take advantage of an “I has keyboard” (final copy TBD) per-device user preference.
