User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Load the page.  Note the table floating on the right-hand side.  Just below it
is some HTML the viewer can select (escaped so it is visible, of course).

Two problems:

* You can't select the first line no matter what you try to do.

* Even weirder, if you select after the last line of the html and drag up, the
window scrolls until the selection point hits the first line, and then the
selection point skips to the BOTTOM of the page!  At which point, the scrolling
continues (if you let it) up the page until you get to the start point, past it
to the loop point, and back to the bottom of the page again!

I can see the bug in Mozilla1.7, but I can't see the bug in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041012
Firefox/0.9.1+
So I think this bug has already been fixed somehow.

I just redownloaded the 1.0PR for Macintosh OS X and the problem is still there.  Depending on how 
fast you select and drag the mouse you can get all sorts of weird behaviors.

Same here. Reproducing on 
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041007
Firefox/0.10
but WFM on
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041008
Firefox/0.9.1+

Marking WORKSFORME since this was apparently fixed on the trunk, and I can't
find the exact dupe.
