to place the insertion point.

Steps to Reproduce:
Load form, click, drag, etc.

Normal selection operations don't work.

wfm with 0.8final. reporter, are there any other circumstances? does a new
profile fix it?

I don't know why it reports like that. I was using the 7/12/04 nightly build to
report. No this is the 7/14 build and the fields work properly.
