.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some text in Mozilla using click-and-drag.
2. Now select some text in another X client, such as an xterm, again using
click-and-drag


Actual Results:  
Mozilla continues to highlight the text that was selected in step 1.

Expected Results:  
The highlight should go away when text is selected in some other client (that
is, when Mozilla loses the PRIMARY selection).
I was sure we had a bug on this already, but I can't find it...

yeah, I was sure someone would have reported this before, but I couldn't find
one either.
Found it!  Marking as dup of bug 55437.
