if the url in a page is such that it spans across lines and has double quotes,
then clicking the url should select the complete url. currently this is not
occuring.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/SecondPage.html
2. click the url/href of "even Dr. Richard Smalley, the scientist at the
forefront of these technologies, admits we need a series of "miracles" "
Actual Results:  
the "miracles" word is not selected after the click.

Expected Results:  
the completed unnderlined words ie "even Dr. Richard Smalley, the scientist at
the forefront of these technologies, admits we need a series of "miracles" "
should be selected.
Take a look at the HTML source: for whatever reason, probably because it was
created in a visual HTML editor, that's not one link, it's two: there's one link
with all the words up to "miracles", and another one for "miracles". We treat
them as two separate links because they are.
