1. open a page
2. select a word
3. drag the left selection marker down

results: from the right marker to the bottom of the page is selected

expected: selection should stay in the bounds of the markers
Moving the left selection marker up seems to produce similar results.
Ok, I can reproduce it on that url.

Attached patch patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
The problem here is the cache.end position is "client" aligned and did not have the scrollOffset adjusted. The solution was to make sure the cache positions (start and end) were _always_ "client" oriented and to make the scrollOffset adjust in a local variable just for the mouse event.

That seems to fix the bug for me.

I also fixed bug 676008 by adjusting the initial x, y by scrollOffset too.

Same as last but changed a selection.collaspeToStart() -? selection.removeAllRanges() to fix bug 675459 too.

This mobile-only patch makes some solid fixes to the text selection mechanism in Fx8 and we'd like to see it on Fx7 too.

Fixes are limited to only the 2 or 3 text selection methods. Low risk.
