343466 - Unable to select highlighted text in a textbox using "Highlight all"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256989

(Toolkit :: Find Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Michael K.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060703 Minefield/3.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060703 Minefield/3.0a1

Now that bug 189039 is fixed we can highlight text in textboxes, but there seem to be a few issues with the "Highlight all" feature. Namely, once highlighted it can't be selected (except through a double/triple-click or CTRL+A). Also, when you delete part of the highlighted text, I'd imagine the logical behaviour would be for the text to get unhighlighted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a site containing a textbox, such http://www.google.com/firefox.
2. Type a few words
3. Do a search for (part of) the text you just typed
4. Highlight all
Actual Results:  
Unable to select the highlighted text, nor able to place the cursor anywhere in the highlighted region.

Expected Results:  
Should be able to select it, just like you can with non-editable text.

Note: However, the quick find highlights the text but you can select it
