Description Matt Lilek 2007-07-23 19:08:18 PDT
When right clicking (or alternate clicking/control clicking, whatever you want to call bringing up a contextual menu), whatever you are clicking is selected.

Go to <http://google.com> and right click the Google logo, it's selected when it should not be.

Regressed between r24441 and r24501 with it looking like <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/24499>

Given the comments in r24499, it seems that this behavior is expected (though it does suffer from bug 14728). However, it's possible that the desired behavior is that only text would be selected, in which case the bug is that things other than text sometimes get selected when right-clicking.

If that's true, that really doesn't seem like very good behavior to me.  Perhaps this is just bug 14728 but as an example - go to <http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/6679431.stm> and right click in the empty white space to the right of the sidebar and nearly the entire page gets selected.

Ok yeah, that is bug 14728
