1370239 - Parts of selection persistent even after deselection

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1368521

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

I'm seeing lots of cases where selecting using mouse drag and then selecting something else causes the first selection to partly or completely remain.

I'm not certain that this is a selection issue: it very well could be a painting/revalidation issue.

I'm pretty sure this is a fairly recent regression in nightlies: I saw it first sometime mid/late last week.

STR. This is intermittent and I haven't found a 100% reproducible situation:

* visit a site that has selectable text: I've reproduced this on multiple sites including bugzilla and gmail
* select some text using the mouse
* select some other text
* parts or all of the first text remains inverted/selected
