unable to select text by mouse down + drag on Java FX WebView control [message #1661808]

We have a JavaFX WebView embedded in Eclipse editor part.
Notice there is no easy way to select text in the WebView,
the usual mouse down + drag does not highlight the text.

The only way to select text is by clicking at the beginning of
the text and then Shift clicking at the end of the text.

The code to create the WebView looks like below:

FXCanvas fxCanvas = new FXCanvas(this, SWT.NONE);
fxCanvas.setLayoutData(GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(true, true).align(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL).create());
fxCanvas.setLayout(GridLayoutFactory.fillDefaults().create());

browser = new WebView();
browser.setVisible(false);

BorderPane border = new BorderPane();
Scene scene = new Scene(border);
border.setCenter(browser);
fxCanvas.setScene(scene);

BTW, text selection in the WebView embedded in Stand-alone JavaFX App works fine.
