Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111101 Firefox/10.0a1
Build ID: 20111101031108

Steps to reproduce:

I've double-clicked a word.


Actual results:

It selected the word and white space.


Expected results:

No matter what OS says, Firefox has to select the word itself only. Because the user's intention is to select the word only. not the white space. It is very annoying. Moreover when a password is selected and pasted it makes it "wrong password".
