4 months ago This seems to require a sandbox attribute on the iframe. That forbids the frame from receiving any information about mouse events outside of its content, so that it isn't told that the mouse has been released until you move the pointer back into the frame.
Since aborting mouse selection when the pointer moves out of the document would break drag-selecting out of the window in cases where that does give us events, I've solved this in attached patch by cutting off mouse selection when the user types.
Describe the issue
If you select code and drag your mouse outside of the containing iframe, then the codemirror state is broken.
It seems to set the entire state to the last character pressed. If, instead of immediately typing, you delete the selection, then your text gets input backwards.
