Details

See url, this was already a problem with the old code, causing various bugs. Notice that while going with the drag handles over form controls. In bug 669816, I attached a patch that doesn't use shift-mouse clicks to change the selection, but uses mousedown, then mousemove events to change the selection: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=549113 It seemed to work fine at the time. But instead of that, you could also generate mousemove and then use rangeParent and rangeOffset properties to set the selection programmatically. See also discussion about that in bug 681387.
