text selection seems busted on page with UTF-8 content [linux build 2002032608] 1) load http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html 2) select some non-ASCII text 3) notice how the selection "jumps" around. it isn't "anchored" properly (i.e., one expects a selection to be anchored at the mousedown point, but on this site the anchor seems to jump around as you move the mouse).
Reassigning to selection component owner.

this tends to happen on RTL pages. This should prob go to simon mont, but I will take a look first.

It seems to me that it jumps only when you start the selection on a last line of a paragraph. And only on some paragraphs.
