Linux.
I cannot select text in the main apprunner window.
This is a regression from earlier today, 11am?

Selection works in the editor.  Ramiro mentioned that the
new sidebar behavior might be to blame.?
Target Milestone: M6
no cause i never commited the changes.
Assignee: don → slamm
Reverting slamm's one-line change to navigator.xul switches
back to the old frame behavior AND fixes the selection problem.
slamm?
Severity: normal → major
Priority: P3 → P2
is this an xp bug ? does it happen on win32?
in the latest release build on my win95 laptop I can select
in the editor, but not on a browser page.
OS: Linux → All
Hardware: PC → All
marking XP
Is selection being disabled for chrome web shells (as opposed to content
shells)?  If slamm made a change that affected the structure of navigator.xul
and didn't label the content area as a content shell then that might
explain this.

For any area that is supposed to be a content frame, you should have the
attribute type set to a value of "content" on the content frame, e.g.,

<iframe type="content"....

If editor has code that turns selection off for chrome shells, this would
explain the problem.

I am using iframe's instead of a frameset now. I did mislabel the content. I had
id="content" instead of type="content". However, in my tree selection still does
not work with that change.

I will investigate some more.
chofmann, I would like to back out my change until I get this straightened out.
Fortunately, switching back is easy,

mcafee, I backed out my change (in my tree), but I still see the selection
problem.

Extra details: If I make a selection, I do not see it immediately under the
mouse. However, if I scroll that area off screen and then bring it back, the
selection is drawn in the proper place.
