open the file in safari and select some text
Looks fine on Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) with a local debug build of WebKit r25776 on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218). Could you post a screenshot? Have you changed your default highlight color on Windows? Actually, I think this behavior is expected (that the rest of the line to the right edge of the window is highlighted when you drag downward). Could you attach a screenshot of the issue in Google Docs?

Generally text highlighting in Webkit looks really bad in comparison to other browsers like Firefox and Opera. Created attachment 19319 [details]

My understanding is that this is just the mac way of highlighting text. Try highlighting text in TextEdit, you'll see the highlight extend to the end of the line, even if there is a return on that line. |
