Description:
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.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
You are correct sir, I can't get tap-to-select working here on my Surface RT, while it does work in IE.

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.
Unofficial Windows 8 & Firefox OS apps are not currently being worked on; switching old Bugzilla assignment back to none and subscribing myself instead. Volunteers welcome, and I'll be happy to help!
The Windows 8 Wikipedia application has been unmaintained and unused for years. Declining this task to reflect reality - see T259930 for more information.
