Now that you can select images in Mozilla as well, when you tab in a form and
the submit button is an image, it gets the blue selection.
When the submit button gets selected the dotted line should appear instead.

For example, go to 
http://www.gamespot.com

focus the search filed and press the TAB button. 

Reproducible: Always

This is another example with image selection weirdness.
Press tab to focus the image, the dotted rectangle appears around the image
(correct), then press tab again to focus the link.

Now press SHIFT + TAB for going back to the image. The image gets the blue
selection and not the dotted selection.

Why is it getting selected at all?  It should just be focused...

I noticed this on linked images as well, why are they appearing selected?

Who recently implemented selection appearance for images?

Looks like several people implemented the selection of images. See bug 14835.

I have a fix for this posted in 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174163
Bug 174163 - Unselecting image shows it in reverse-video

I would just like to use that bug to get this r,sr ect and into tree.   Simply
because I posted patch there first ;)

I know there is a fix for this in bug 174163, but anyway, this is how the the
submit button looks on gamespot.com,
tabbing to it selects the image, clicking on the text field gives it an
inverted selection.
