Hi Reporter

I am a little confused

You can only unselect text by clicking on other text.  There is no text between
the two hr's in your testcase, therefore you can't unselect.

Comments ?

That's the problem I think, you should be able to deselect by clicking on
something other than text. I saw one bug report on the selection not being
deselected when you click on images but I think it should be more general than
just that.

This was fixed on trunk on 2005-12-08, by the patch for bug 316281.
