141409 - unable to cut a string subsection from the url entry box in the navigation toolbar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96446

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[billrees]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0+)
Gecko/20020430
BuildID:    2002043010

The highlighted string subsection in the url text box of the
navigation toolbar is ignored and the full text highlighted
when the menu pop-up associated with the right mouse button
on Win2K systems is selected.

The entire string becomes highlighted and the substring I want
to remove is expanded to include the entire string

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.place text in the text box.  Doesn't matter what kind of text.
2. drag the cursor over a substring to highlight it.
3. Now depress the right mouse button as if to cut and note
   that the entire string is now highlighed instead of the
   intended substring.

So, for instance, if I had cut from an email a url such as
    http://www.news.com/blahblahblah
and wanted to remove the "blahblahblah" so I could then select
GO and get to the main web page, I would not be able to simply
cut "blahblahblah" out of the string but would have to use
the backspace or delete key.

Actual Results:  Entire text string becomes highlighted

Expected Results:  Left the highlighting alone

This hasn't worked in many moons.
