Modal dialogs and fullscreen elements mark all elements outside of them
as inert. That makes them have a used value of "user-select: none".

But modal dialogs and fullscreen elements are not inert, so by default
they got "user-select: auto". This resolves to "none" since the used
value on the parent element is "none".

So modal dialogs and fullscreen elements were not selectable. This
patch addresses the problem by setting "user-select: text" on UA origin.

There is a somewhat similar precedent where the CSSWG resolved to set
"visibility: visible" on modal dialogs:
