* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SandBox
2. Edit the page
2. Try selecting a big chunk of text in the edition area -> the selection jumps all around
Double-clicking in the edition area leads to strange behavior (see screenshot) although this seems less reproducible

This is a regression compared to Tiger.

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be fixed, I can still reproduce the bug 100% on http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SandBox with Leopard 9A312.

This is easy to reproduce by selecting a chunk of text by dragging the mouse down, and then moving the mouse back up.

Fix painting weirdness

This fixes one weird aspect, which is the selection painting (more precisely, selection gap painting) when the textarea is scrolled. I think that this is what the bug report was about.
