Is there a trick to GetSelectedText()?

[Ryan Niemeyer]

I hope that this is possibly a simple question.  I am using 2011_2_9_28 and just trying to execute some tests that validate the selected text in the browser.  I was unable to get it working.

Here is a basic console app that does not display text in any of the browsers that I tried.  I would just launch it and then select various things on the page including text in the search box and GetSelectedText() is always empty.  Am I using it wrong?

Manager testManager = new Manager(false);
testManager.Start();
testManager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType.InternetExplorer, true);
testManager.ActiveBrowser.NavigateTo("http://google.com");

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
	Console.WriteLine("Current: " + testManager.ActiveBrowser.GetSelectedText());
	Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Console.ReadLine();
testManager.Dispose();

Hi Rp Niemeyer,

I saw the same behavior in my testing and I filed a bug report for it. You can find the PITS Issue here: Public URL.
