Details

If a hyperlink appears on a line by itself, there is no way to highlight just that hyperlink. Netscape Navigator allows a highlight to start from the arrow pointer cursor, but Mozilla (2000112708) will not allow a highlight until there is a text (vertical bar) cursor. This can be seen from any of the six unbroken links at the URL'd page - as far as I can tell, there is no way to highlight any of these links. This is probably not Linux specific, but marked 'minor'.
confirmed with 112908 win32 build. Over to Selection.

Worksforme on 2001031604 Win2k: * click'n'drag to highlight * traditional highlight by clicking to the (e.g.) right of the link and then dragging to the left
Appears to be working under Win98 build 2001031304 as well.
Also working under Linux build 2001031821 ... not sure if I'm supposed to change the status (got yelled at before for changing priority) but since I opened it, I'm marking it resolved/fixed. Don't know who when or why, but it works now.
