From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010516 BuildID: 2001051620 Higlighting text from left to right sometimes will not highlight the first letter of a word. Usually this occurs when selecting at the beginning of a line although it also occurs when selecting in the middle of a line of text as well. You can still select all the text if you select from right to left. Also, (in form text fields) on those lines where you have trouble selecting the first letter hitting the "home" key will not bring you to the beginning of the line. Instead, the cursor will go after the first letter. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Highlight text from left to right starting at the beginning of a line. (For example, go to http://www.mozillazine.org/. Try selecting the lines that begin "James Russell has..." or "rewrite, imglib2,...". ) Actual Results: The first letter is unselected. Expected Results: All highlighted text should be selected.
