While I can highlight any quantity of the TEXT passages'datetime.xsl' code
examples (php, xsl and xml) can only be highlighted with a mouse-sweep one line
at a time; the highlight will not go past the line boundary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mouse-1 and hold on the first char, try to sweep down across the code example
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
highlight stops at the end of the first line.

Expected Results:  
highlight should follow the mouse line by line the way it does with straight text.

There's definitely something going wrong here. When I try to select the
datetime.xsl code example the focus jumps to the bottom of the page, selecting
everything in between.

This wfm, with 2005-04-18 trunk build. Maybe fixed by bug 289792?
