103099 - Marking text in location widget should start from right

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62495

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Daggi Elehu]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load a page in mozilla
2. press and hold mouse button over location widget

Expected result
Text is highlighted from mouse cursor to end of URL

Actual result
Text is highlighted from start of URL to mouse cursor

Description
Almost always when you click (and hold) on the URL-text you want to edit the URL
and I am pretty sure that it is not the http:// or the http://www. part that is
most frequent.

Selecting only part of the URL on click is a bug, and was never the intended 
behavior.  It's supposed to select the entire URL, but if you move the cursor 
even a pixel while the mouse button is down, only part of the URL becomes 
selected.

If bug 62495 is fixed completely, you'll be able to select the end of the URL 
by dragging from where you want to start to the end of the URL, but clicking 
without moving the cursor will select the entire URL.
