Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 214343

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeff Pack]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030729 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

Attempting to highlight and copy multiple paragraphs produces erratic results.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a text editor (e.g., Notepad) and copy the phrase "This text was copied
prior to the test." to the clipboard.
2. Go to http://www.mozilla.org
3. Attempt to highlight all text from "Mozilla Foundation" to "Read the press
release and our newsgroup announcement."
4. Attempt to copy highlighted text to clipboard by pressing Ctrl-C,
right-clicking and selecting "Copy", or Edit/Copy.
5. Paste copied text into the text editor.

Actual Results:  
Only part of the text is highlighted, and "This text was copied prior to the
test." remains in the clipboard.

Expected Results:  
The entire block of text should be highlighted and copied to the clipboard.

Text selection appears to stop working when the cursor changes from
text-selection to the standard cursor, though some text may appear highlighted.
