From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041711 when trying to select the Harry Tuttle quote, the browser turns the mouse cursor into the standard text selection cursor over the first quote symbol, however, when i click and drag on this character trying to select the entire quote, the select is not initiated. If i start at the end of the quote and try to select backwards, the entire quote, _except_ for the quotation marks is selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move Mouse Cursor over the first quotation mark of the Harry Tuttle Quote. 2. Attempt to select entire quote or 1. Move mouse over the period after the word "Brazil" attempt to select the entire quotation by moving the mouse backwards. Actual Results: in the first case, the selection isn't started although mozilla displays a text editting cursor. (the I beam) in the second, all characters EXCEPT the quotation marks are selected. Expected Results: i would expect the entire phrase to be selected and i would expect that when i'm shown an I-beam, that i can being selecting text for copy/cutting.

OK, this is because the page uses the <q> element instead of regular quatation marks. This is a duplicate of bug 72734.
