It doesn't work -- the whole textbox ends up being selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type a few words in a textbox 2. Try to select just one word 3. Observe that the whole textbox ends up being selected Actual Results: The whole textbox ends up being selected. Expected Results: Just that word should have been selected I have only tested this with NT, but I suspect that all win32 varieties are affected.
This was bug 51856 - "textarea/textfield can only select all, partial selections not working". It was fixed later on the 8th. Please try a newer build. Marking dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 51856 ***
