Do a drag select over small caps text and observe the spacing and capitalization glitches in the text rendering. Example 0 has some small caps text to see this.

Setting to M4 Milestone Problems with getting selection of any formatted text, we need support from the Gecko team to complete this fix

hey mike, isn't this just a dupe of 3702 or some of the similar bugs (4254,4255,4145)? In general bad things tend to happen if you drag-select. I just crashed on Linux Mar28 messing around w/ sample 0.

not gunna fix this for m4, its just annoying.

This will have to be m6 and it shouldnt be hard to do for that milestone

forgot all about this. will put it off again to m7

this looks great to me. I need to turn on selection for wierd text elements so dont try this until i check it in later today may 17

*** Bug 6877 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

reopening based on report from the new dupe bug 6877. Did you just not make that check-in yet Mike?

This APPEARS to be fixed if you think it is still broken cmon by and see me and you can point out what you think is wrong. maybe i am missing something. the "jammed" up text selects kind of strangely but that seems acceptable to me. maybe thats what you are refferring to?

ok i see it now. stretch the window all the way out and the farther you get from left margin the more "off" the Getposition code is. moving to m8 because i cant look at this now

Clearing Fixed resolution.

Per a request from Selection and Search component eng (mjudge) and qa (elig), moving all "Selection and Search" bugs to new "Selection" component. Original "Selection and Search" component will be retired.

[QA Assigning to self.]

Slipped some more important things this milestone so I had to ignore this one even though its straightforward I think.

*** Bug 3939 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Note to self: since 3939 covers a very different use case, be sure to confirm that the bug is fixed when verifying this bug.]

simple bug, can wait until M12

moving to M16, pre-beat cleanup

I don't know what was happening before, but I have the feeling it changed when selection was changed from inverting colors to white-on-blue (or maybe system settings). If you select part of a word (mal within small), the is white. If your selection includes a hyphen or space, the entire text becomes black. If you go back, it becomes white again. I can't tell the exact conditions for what happens at edges of words.

updating keyword and status whiteboard to reflect that this is a beta 2 feature work bug that the Composer team deems a must fix for beta 2.

this should be fixed now. please retry it. if any wierd positioning or the drawing looks funny. please open a new bug. this one has gotten beyond its original marking i think. thanks I really appreciate the testing!

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from elig@netscape.com to BlakeR1234@aol.com. After the many great years of service Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a position at Eazel. We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his spot...
