Since this saturday, I can’t select text (and copy it) from my blog when I’m using Chrome (or IE). It works only with Firefox.

I noticed the same problem with other blogs using the Bromley theme (except this one : http://adamheckler.com/ ).

How to fix this?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi – it looks like the custom colours code is override the selection colour. This is controlled by the wordpress.com team so I have contacted them and asked them to remove this change.

What is happening is the selection is still happening and you can copy the text – you just can’t see the highlight.

The code that needs to be removed (or changed to a colour) is:
```
::selection {
background:none;
}
```

Actually – if you have the custom css addon then you could override the change.

Just add the following to your custom style sheet and it should be fixed.
```
::selection {
background:#000 !important;
}
```
