I've seen this before, but never realized what caused it.
Bug 98479 is related, is this maybe a bug of 98479?

but not for me.  If the mouse moves at all during the click, even one pixel,
only the first half of the URL becomes selected.

I've seen several Bugzilla users refer to this behavior as "random" in other
bugs (not just in dups).  If they can't figure out how to work around it (hold
the mouse very steady while you click on the location bar), I'd expect Netscape
users to be even more frustrated.  I think the low number of dups is due to how
difficult it is to figure out steps that always reproduce the bug.
One of the most irritating but not so enough to bother bugs :-)

Actually Platform,OS->All
OS: Windows NT → All
Hardware: PC → All
This could also be worked around a bit with (rfe)bug 52784.
Similar: bug 23784, "double-clicking doesn't select entire word (if mouseMoved)".
Yeah, this is a duplicate of bug 23784.  Its a general selection problem, not
specific to the url bar.
