Speaking of bad HTML, try copying (highlighting) sections of
text in ZDNet articles and blogs. Try this with Firefox (in
my case -- 1.0.4). Tried it? Odd, isn't it? I have to use
the keyboard to make the selection (putting the pointer
somewhere and holding down SHIFT).
Highlighting with the mouse works fine for me, but I'm running
1.5.0.5
I hope it has been resolved. *smile*
Let me be specific, just in case. Try grabbing the title, the text in some
paragraphs and maybe going half way in particular pargraphs. It's a bit
'jumpy' for me. The cursor has to stop precisely at some particular 'sweet
spot' to kind of 'snap'. I can't quite reproduce this at the moment...
maybe
it's to do with bad markup in other articles, which leads to this
quirkiness.
Yeah, works fines for me. As I slide the cursor arrow with the mouse
button held down, the highlighting updates on a character-by-character
basis. I can start in the middle of a heading, and select to the middle of
the word in the body, and everything behaves as I'd expect it to.
The "1.0.*" releases are getting kind of old by now... I think there
were a couple of "high priority" security fixes since then.
