Presumably the highlighting should clear and nothing should appear highlighted when CTRL clicking. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Highlight some text in a table 2. Clear the highlight by clicking elsewhere 3. CTRL+click and drag across the table cells Actual Results: Observe that the previously highlighted/cleared text appears highlighted again while the text you didn't highlight is normal. Expected Results: All text should be cleared of highlighting. Default theme, settings, etc.
Yeah, this looks broken (using the edit bug form on this bug to reproduce). Do we forget to clear some bits somewhere?

Hmm, odd. The selection object seems to get cleared properly, but maybe the selected flag on the frames is not?
The latter is what I was thinking of, yes.
As of bug 619273 we don't have selection state on the frames anymore. Does this bug still occur?
Depends on: 619273
I actually can't seem to reproduce this at all at least as of Firefox 8. I do see the bug in Firefox 4. So something else fixed things somewhere here...
This got fixed in this range: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=d452aaf438f1&tochange=beceddeee3f4 Chances are, bug 667653 fixed it. Mats, is that plausible?
