Details

Mozilla M5. In example 6 the problem is the same with both tables: When you select text with mouse in a table cell and finish selection beyond the end of the last symbol, the browser does not regard the mouse button release and continues the selection wherever you move the mouse cursor. Normal behaviour: In the green table cell you want to select text "This should be long enough". To do that move cursor to the beginning of "This", press button and drag mouse to the end of "Enough". Release the mouse button. The expected portion of text appears as selected and everything is OK. Wrong behaviour: Want to select from "for testing." to the end of cell. Press mouse button before "for" and drag it beyond the full stop at the and of sentence but still in the boundaries of cell. When you release mouse button somewhere between full stop and right boundary of the cell the browser DOES NOT SENSE the button release and CONTINUES SELECTION of table content wherever you move the mouse cursor.

Rod, if you are not handling selection and you know who is, please reassign this.

mouse up is now tracked independent of any frame so this problem of not "letting go" of selection is fixed
This is definitely fixed, checking the 5.25.99 M6 build candidates on Mac OS/ Win32, and a 5.26.99 build on Linux. However, selection within a table is extremely broken, so I'm going to write up a bug or two and reference them here prior to closing out this bug. Thanks!

<Marking as Verified; Akkana thinks Mike Judge checked in changes that would affect the side-issues, so I'll hold until we have a new build.>
