Subject: FF30/WIN Firefox copies to much on triple click select
From: Mark van Tilburg <markvantilburg@gmail.com>
To: Mozilla Security <security@mozilla.org>
-----//-----
See the attached bla.htm
If you select this line with triple click
<a href="#SurveyLink#">Link tekst</a>
Then CTRL-C to copy, the contents of the textarea is included in the paste. This should not happen.
When you have a tutorial with some command line commands there could be wrong stuff appended to the copy/paste action of the user.

this was reported to sec at and while a user could be tricked into selecting more than intended I don't think this rises to the level of a security issue. We should, however, review this and ensure that when triple click is used that we properly show all that is selected. In my test this worked as described in the above issue report with the supplied file and the selection of items in the text area did not show as being selected.

This issue exists in the latest version of Firefox (43.0.4) as well. I tested on:
Name Firefox
Version 43.0.4
Build ID 20160105164030
Update Channel release
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Tripple click in Firefox selects the text area but does not highlight it in this case. However, if same test is performed in Chrome, text area is highlighted. Confirming it as a defect in FF.
