Enter the above example Code 2. View code with browser 3. Try highlighting third header Actual Results: A mysterious duplicate of "Test1" appears and when highlighting the mysterious duplicate, the first "Test1" is highlighted. Expected Results: The second "Test1" should not have appeared to begin with. I am using the defeault theme. There are no special build options, I simply downloaded the binary of the firefox preview release.
This WFM on the trunk, it sounds like something that was fixed between the time 1.7/aviary branched and now.
