Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 160818

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

In most Windows text boxes, if you click (mousedown) the mouse in the middle of
a string of highlighted text and drag, then the selected text becomes
unselected, and a "new" string of text is selected, starting from where you
starting dragging (the mousedown).

In Mozilla, the cursor changes to one of those NO signs (circle with a diagonal
line through it), but the selected text is "draggable".

Is this expected behavior?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a string of text.
2. Mousedown in the middle of the string of text.
3. Drag.

Actual Results:  
Text is draggable.

Expected Results:  
In Windows, the selected text is unselected, and the selecting/highlighting
process starts over, selected what you're dragging over.

I'm not sure if this behavior was intended.
