Mozilla only selects one character at a time after double-clicking a word. Other
Windows apps (IE, Notepad, Outlook) highlight one word at a time, if your
selection started with a double-click (i.e. "word select" mode). Mozilla's
behavior is inconsistent with the Windows UI conventions.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load some web page with test
2. Double-click a word. The entire word is selected.
3. While still holding down the second click, drag the mouse to select more words.
Actual Results:
The selection area only highlights one character at a time.
Expected Results:
Other Windows apps (IE, Notepad, Outlook) highlight one word at a time, if your
selection started with a double-click (i.e. "word select" mode).
