Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58704

While formating text I ran into a problem trying to select either the first or 
last line of paragraphs that were right aligned, and problems highlighting the 
top line of paragraphs that were center aligned.  This does not seem to effect 
large sentences.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open composer
2.type in "line 1" hit enter, type in "line 2" hit enter, and type in "line 3" 
and hit enter.
3.Select all of the text and choose center align.
4.deselect the text and try to reselect all of the text using the mouse.
5. Try the above steps using the right alignment for the three lines.

Actual Results:  The text was hard to highlight while all lines were centered 
aligned, had to drag the mouse to the top far left corner in order to select 
"line 1".  "Line 1" and "line 3" were hard to highlight with the mouse when the 
text was right aligned.  Once again I had to drag the mouse to the top left of 
the screen, selecting from "line 3" up to "line 1". and had to drag the mouse to 
the bottom right in order to select the text from "line 1" down to "line 3"

Expected Results:  The text should be easy to highlight.  It works fine when it 
is full justified or left aligned.

Confirming it with win98 Build 2001082203
Clicking on the left side of left aligned text moves the caret to the beggining
of  the line, but if the text is centered or right aligned then the caret is
placed at the end of the line and so this line isn't selected.
Marking as new.
