313413 - double-click between word and trailing space selects next word as well

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200098

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Eric Rosenbloom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051005 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051005 SeaMonkey/1.1a

In Mozilla 1.7.5, double-clicking a word selected just the word, and
double-clicking between the word and the trailing space selected the word and
the trailing space (handy for cutting and pasting it elsewhere in, say, an
e-mail message or web comment form).

In SeaMonkey 1.0a, double-clicking between a word and the trailing space also
selects the next word.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In e-mail composition window, web comment form, or any window with selectable
text, double-click at the end of a word that is followed by a space.
Actual Results:  
The next word is selected along with the desired word and trailing space.

Expected Results:  
Only the targeted word and the trailing space should be selected.

Hmm, I see this with recent firefox/seamonkey nightly (Mac OS 10.3.9). The old
behaviour was that if you double-clicked in the left part of the space, the next
word was not selected. Now, both words are selected. Marking New, since I don't
seem to find any dupes.

The point is that the behaviour has changed since the 1.7 branch. But I'll comment in 200098 instead.
