From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041711 If you double click text and your pointer happens to move between the last mousedown and mouseup, then you'll end up only selecting the text from the beginning of the word to your pointer's location. This is caused by the "click, click-and-drag" behavior. Mozilla should probably have a couple of pixel's tolerance when detecting doubleclicks (*or* when deciding to generate a "drag" event). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Very quickly: mousedown, mouseup, mousedown, move pointer slightly, mouseup. Easiest using a pointing device that's not very stable (it moves slightly when pressing a button), or perhaps a touchpad. I'm using a tablet and stylus. Actual Results: Only the part of the word left of the pointer is selected. Expected Results: All of word selected.
