704100 - Text selection locked‏ on. Cant access links.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[William Hanemann]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64; rv:11.0a1) Gecko/20111120 Firefox/11.0a1
Build ID: 20111120031001

Steps to reproduce:

Sometimes, every click I do, select the page's text instead of open the link.

I've tryied use shift + click, use another keyboard, but even not working, the problem only happen on nightly, and it ONLY STOPS when I RESTART THE BROWSER (all browser windows).

I didn't notice anything that can lead to this.


Actual results:

Nightly(11.0a1 20/11/2011) locks the text selection on and I cant navigate through the page links.


Expected results:

The mouse pointer was supposed to be a hand when I move it over the links, but instead of this, it remains an arrow. When I click the links, it should open the respective page, instead of select the page's text.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

This is a sporadic problem, doesn't happen all the time, and I don't know how to make it happen. So, I can't test it =(
