152988 - double click word selection should break on quotes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98546

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Since merriam webster's silly javascript stuff to play WAVE files doesn't work
for me, I routinely view-source there to copy and paste the URL. It's always of
the form:

2. <a HREF="http://cougar.eb.com/sound/h/haute001.wav">Click here to listen

When I double click on the URL, it includes HREF=" and ">Click, instead of
breaking at quotes.

This is common usage. Other GTK apps seem to break at quotes. My xterm and rxvt
do. I've configured my rxvt to break on all of the following, actually. It's not
far from the default. Parhaps Mozilla should consider them:

rxvt.cutchars:                  `"'()[]{}<>,;|

These end up selecting URLs and e-mail addresses very nicely. Dunno how everyone
else lives without it. :)
