Description Brian R. Bondy 2013-03-06 18:17:16 UTC 
Text selection is supported in a bunch of applications for Windows 8 apps but not the Wikipedia app.  IE10 does it in a nice way, you tap a word and it gets selected with 2 little selection markers go on either end of the word.  You can then drag it with your finger to select text.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2013-03-06 18:20:54 UTC 
Hmm, this should work as I recall.
Comment 2 Brian R. Bondy 2013-03-06 18:23:28 UTC 
Mouse selection works for me but not text selection via touch.
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2013-03-06 18:33:10 UTC 
You are correct sir, I can't get tap-to-select working here on my Surface RT, while it does work in IE.
Comment 4 Brian R. Bondy 2013-03-08 03:06:47 UTC 
I haven't found the best way to fix this yet, but the WinJS.UI.SemanticZoom control (seanticZoomer) is causing this to break.

If you remove this control touch selection works again.

Grouping Windows 8 app specific bugs to Wikipedia/Windows 8 component.
