184158 - Double-clicking to select words with accented characters is broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 133312

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Mark Mentovai]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Normally, it is possible to select a word by double-clicking on it. This works
properly in the text you are reading now, and in the instances above marked as
"no bug." However, when a "bug" word is double-clicked to the left of the
accented character, only the part of the word before the accented character is
selected. If double-clicked on the accented character, the first part of the
word is selected, including the accented character. If double-clicked to the
right of the accented character, the entire word is selected. Mozilla 1.2.1/Mac
OS X 10.2.2. Bug also present in Chimera 0.6.0+-2002120204, although the bug/no
bug cases may be different.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Double-click a word with an accented character in the middle of it; double-click
to the left of the character.  Maybe this will work: wie spät ist es?
Actual Results:  
"sp" is selected.

Expected Results:  
"spät" should be selected.

Mozilla 1.2.1/Mac OS X 10.2.2
Chimera 0.6.0+-2002120204/Mac OS X 10.2.2 (but let's fix it in Mozilla first...)
