WebView turns grey on double-clicks near tab bar in Gmail

I was able to hit this in Colloquy today (for the first time).  I can reliably repeat it in Safari with Gmail, by double clicking right at the bottom of the tab.  I think it's a 1px boundary where a double click causes this bug.

I got this in Colloquy by double clicking trying to select text in the message box.

Once the view turns grey (a disabled selection?) there is no way to turn it back to normal colors.

I was told once that Chrome has a work-around for this bug.  I'm not sure what it is, but I'll ask around.

I made the window small so you all didn't need to read my mail. :)  The window can be any size for the bug to reproduce.

Reproduction steps:
1.  Open gmail.com
2.  Double-click near the bottom of the gmail tab in Safari.  I can't tell if clicking on the last pixel of the tab, or the top-most pixel of the page triggers the bug.  Maybe it involves clicking on both, not sure.

100% reproducible.

I'm not sure why this happens…
