* SUMMARY With NB r17027 , I have noticed that when I drag a selection over a word in a line , the selection extends to the entire line. I have seen this type of problem on several pages including http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/red/ Using Webkit Nighties, I can identify when this regression first started: r16977. This problem didn't happen on the previous NB : r16968 * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. With r17027, open "sample_selection2.html" 2. In the sentence displayed, position the cursor just after the word "Store" and mouse down. 3. Drag the mouse (from right to left) in an attempt to create a selection over the word "Store" 4. As you drag, notice the selection actually extends outside of the area where you are dragging. In this case, the selection extends to the start of the line. * RESULTS The selection should only apply to the area on the sentence where I'm dragging but doesn't. * REGRESSION Yes

When looking at the revisions between 16968 and 16977, this checkin may have caused it: http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/16975
