Disable call-out menu on text selection

[Sumanta Mishra]

Hi All,

We are facing a problem related to text selection in Chrome Apps. We need to show a custom popup on text selection in ChromeApps in Chromebook touch devices. But when user selects text on a page, CB touch devices pops up its default context menu with Copy and other options. Is there any option to disable the default context menu on text selection in CB touch devices?

Does the contextmenu event fire by any chance when this menu shows up?

Hi, I tried to add preventDefault to contextmenu event handler. This works only for the context menu appears on right click. Does not work for the menu appears on selecting a range of text.

This might be the nonstandard answer :( -

I am not sure this is supported, though. Give it a go.

This works for Safari only.

Interesting. Then I guess there is no way to hide it at the moment.

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.
