(Whiteboard: [MAKINGTEST] Antti.Nayha@oulu.fi) 

On the enter bug page in bugzilla (URL above), I can't select text in the <input type="text"> areas by pressing [shift] and the left or right arrows.  This does work in the Description <textarea>.

Reassigning to Eric.
Moving all Widget Set bugs, past and present, to new HTML Form Controls
component per request from karnaze.  Widget Set component will be retired
shortly.

Target Milestone: M14 → M17
Moving to M17. Platform-specific and there's a workaround (double click the
text).

Resolution: --- → FIXED
I think this has been fixed (long ago; now that we have editor as widget)

For the record, double-clicking the text will select a word, not a single
character so it isn't a workaround for shift-arrow.
