Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62495

From Bugzilla Helper:

It is much more useful to mimic the behavior achieved in NS 6.2.2, when
clicking in the URL bar.
When you click on the URL bar -and do not move the mouse- the whole text is
selected. That's ok.
But then, if you want to click_and_drag to select part of the text -let's say,
the end of the URL- to be deleted or changed, you cannot.
You have to click once first to de-select the text and then do the job.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on URL bar. The text is selected.
2.Try to select part of the URL while the whole URL is already selected.
3.You can't...

Actual Results:  The whole URL remains selected

Expected Results:  Only the text you want should remain selected

I hope It's aleady clear...
