When looking at a page with HTML-like punctuation (a source window, for
example), the user is unable to properly select text OR text is properly
selected by the selection hilite does not cover some punctuation. As
cut-and-paste are not working for me in this build, I am unable to determine
whether the problem is cosmetic however I am able to repsoduct it every time.
On a line like this:
<a href=http://foo.com/test.html>Test URL</a>
If you double-click the "http", you get a selection from the href= through to
the space at the end of the word "Test" However, the = and the > will not be
hilited in that example. The expected result is that both of these should be
hilited leaving an unbroken hilited block.
It is arguable that we're hiliting too much anyway on a double-click. This bug
does not address that problem. That's bug #6875
Please note that this problem also occurs when you use a click-n-drag to hilite
text.
I have not verified that this bug happens on pages other than the view source
page as it can be difficult to find pages that contain HTML. I am assuming that
the view-source page uses the standard display engine although double-checking
this would be a good idea.

This works for me within Composer using this morning's Mac OS build.
