From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) BuildID: 2001051104 In some cases, when the cursor is at the end of the text in an input tag, or end of a line in a textarea, pressing SHIFT+HOME or drag-selecting to the start will highlight all the text apart from the first character Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a page with default text in a textarea or text input field (the resource:///res/samples/test8.html works) 2. Place the cursor (or insertation point at the end of the field or line (on the above page, the second line in the textarea containing the text "another textarea size,font set by css" reproduces the bug for me) 3. Press SHIFT+HOME or drag-select to the start of the line Actual Results: All except the first letter of the line is selected Expected Results: The whole line should have been selected The easy workaround is to simply press SHIFT+LEFT after selecting everything. It is, however, annoying.

Also seeing this with 2001051120 / Win98SE.
