Actually Cody, I'm going to assign this to John Lea, first. The use case isn't specific enough for an implementation.
John, I have some questions for you. Could you answer these in the ticket, and then update the use case appropriately, in the interest of clarification and explicitness?
* In use case 4.5, is step 2 a drag?
* If so, as the user drags, you expect immediate feedback in the form of text high-lighting, correct?
* For step 4, do we have those menus designed somewhere? Like what they should look like?
* Also for step 4, do we have the contents of the menu defined? Should the menu simply contain one entry, "copy"? Or did you have other menu items in mind as well? (if so, we'll need to open a new ticket for that to be done in a different branch)
Once these questions are answered, I'll reassign back to Cody.
