(Whiteboard: EDITORBASE+) 

triple click a word from the blue paragraph:

 UPDATE!: blah blah blah

it will always select the "UPDATE" part instead.

See also Bug 151700 which is much more dangerous since it non-obviously selects
too much on a very major site.
It only does this if you triple click a word in the first line of the paragraph

Here is some minimal html that shows the problem:

<body>
<font color="#3333ff">UPDATE:<font size="-1"> I've been tr</font></font>
</body>


double-click on "been" works fine; triple-click on "been" selected "UPDATE:"
