Mouse-click within a paragraph and drag to select some text, the cursor can't
escape the current line, or sometimes the current paragraph.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Mouse click in first paragraph on page
2.Drag to select text
3.

Actual Results:  
Text selection is 'trapped' within either the first line clicked, or within the
paragraph or other block element.

Expected Results:  
Allowed contents of page to be selected

Page uses CSS, this bug may become far more visible with time, hence major, but
please downgrade it ... Other pages on the site that use the same layout expose
the bug. This seems to afflict other block-level elements on the page too. Sorry
if its my stupid code ...
Confirming bug, 2004-02-23-08 trunk Linux.
Everything is 'position:relative' but I don't see any reason why that shouldn't
work as normal flow blocks in this case.
