This is weird because we're just calling Services.prompt.alertBC() to display this dialog. But I confirmed that the same problem happens with normal JS alert(), confirm(), and prompt() dialogs - selecting "Select All" does not select any text in the dialog. This is a duplicate of an already-existing bug.
