* TITLE/SUMMARY
Can't select text across table cells

<I believe this is a known issue to mjudge, but I don't see a bug report, and it
blocks the execution of the copy-text-formatted test case.>

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner
1) View the attached test case (derived from www.mozilla.org)
2) Attempt to select the page text, beginning from "The".

* RESULT
 - What happened

The page text can't be selected beyond "Organization" (rest of text is in
additional table cells)

 - What was expected

Behavior equivalent to NN or IE.

* REGRESSION

 - Occurs On
        Mac OS Apprunner (8.16.99 AM optimized build)
        Win32 Apprunner (today's build invalid; not tested)
        Linux Apprunner (8.13.99)

 - Doesn't Occur On
        Netscape Communicator 4.7 M2



* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED

[reminder to self: when testing this, be sure to test a shift-select across an
