User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

When you highlight text with Babylon (default: CTRL-right-click, used: middle mouse button) often not the word directly under the pointer is selected, but one of the words to the right of the pointer in the same line. Despite not serious, this bug is very annoying when you need to write text in other languages.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Babylon
2. Start writing multiple lines inside a textbox
3. Use Babylon access button to highlight words at random along the text.
Actual Results:  
Babylon users are familiar with this problem.

Expected Results:  
Bogus results in the Babylon dictionary.

Show translations to the selected word.
