Bug 6020 – using "ondblclick" event in a table with 2+ <td>'s shouldn't cause text selection

• Status: NEW
• Component: HTML Editing

[Erick Tryzelaar]

I'm trying to make a very simple page where you click on a <td> in order to change the color. However, I 
find that if I handle the "ondblclick", a bunch of the td is selected as what normally happens when you 
double click on a line. However, this breaks the expected functionality that I'm looking for, since my 
<td>s don't have any text in them to select. Oddly though, if I only have one <td> in a table, it works as 
expected.

The attached test case has nbsp's there, but I could still reproduce this issue after removing them.

Moving to HTML Editing component (selection-related).

Very annoying. Basically you can use Ondblclick without selecting the text. I'll add a even more basic example.

In my case, I have a dynamically filled unordered list where clicking on the list-items selects parts of the body. Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce this behaviour in a simple example yet. This works fine in Firefox.

Sorry... Basically you CAN'T use Ondblclick without selecting the text.

This still seems to be an issue!
