Double-clicking a word in the description textarea doesn't select the word.  However, double-clicking a word in the summary or url <input type="text"> fields does select the word.

This works on GFX widgets for Win and Linux.  I'd assume it also works for GFX
widgets on Mac?  (You can try this by running viewer, selecting Style->Widget
Render Mode->GFX

This also works for native widgets on Win and Linux.  Pierre, can you take a
look at native widgets on Mac?

and copy and paste do not work on any platform with these gfx widgets.

I have tested on Mac. The results are:
- The native Text widget works.
- The native TextArea widget doesn't work but we don't really care because that
widget which is now based on WASTE will soon be replaced by the GFX version.
- The GFX Text widget and the GFX TextArea widget don't work correctly: the
hilite is not drawn at the right place.

Reassigned to Simon with his approval.

since this is a native widget problem (per pierre's comments above), I'm going to
mark this as WONTFIX (at least for now).
