In url above, find where it says: 0.7 Thanks to Thanks to the following people for helpful info and comments (note: to avoid automated spam address collection systems, I've munged their e-mail addresses in an obvious way). Trevor Schroeder from http://www.zweknu.org Lachlan M. D. Cranswick <l.cranswick at dl dot ac dot uk> That last line ("Lachlan M. D. Cranswick...") is selectabel only in it's entirety. You cannot select a character at a time. I checked the source for the page - that line is not an image or anything weird. It is perfectly normal text. this was on MacOS X. QA, please try soe other platforms - I suspect it is xp bug.

The page uses text-align:justify on the whole body. Then it overrides this on some elements. Duplicate of "cannot select anything smaller than lines in justified text" *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58704 ***

That's the most screwed up HTML I've ever read. There's no body tag, but there's a CSS rule (between sections 0.9 and 1) that includes BODY { text-align: justify; }, so this is bug 58704 - cannot select anything smaller than lines in justified text. Verified Dup.
