Details

To reproduce this, write a VERY simple HTML file - I used this:

<html><head></head><body><p>Hello, world.</p></body></html>

Open the page in viewer.exe. Try selecting the entire sentence with the mouse -
you can't. If you select from the right, you can select all of it EXCEPT for the
"H". If you select from the left, you can't select the "H" either (but you do get
a blue insertion caret...)
