Details

When you double click it selects a word (triple selects a line), but as soon as
you move the mouse it switches to character selection.
I can't reproduce this with build ID 2000-090206.
I can double-click to select word, and selection does not go away.
Many places i can't select a line by triple-clicking, but that's another matter.

Reporter: Which build are you using?
The selection doesn't go away, it just begins selecting one char at a time
(as if you only single clicked) as soon as you start moving the mouse.

I'm using build Gecko/20000822


Oh, I think I've seen this before ...

... Yep.
