Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 270683

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

See upcoming testcase.

This seems like a regression.
It used to work in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040718
Firefox/0.9.1+ 7:35am
But it doesn't work anymore in:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040720
Firefox/0.9.1+ 11:54am

I suspect bug 208225 could be the cause of this, expecially because of the
description of bonsai:
"Bug 53966. Don't just capture to the nearest view when selecting with mouse;
only capture to the nearest scrolling view. r+sr=dbaron"
