           Summary: Dragging a text selection on an RSS page can select all
                    text above the intended selection
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: feed://feeds.feedburner.com/theshowzefrank
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

when I click-drag on an RSS feed page to select text for copying, the text
selection automatically expands to the top of the page and includes the right
column (gray background). Pasting this gives me all the text of the right
column, then all the text from the feed until the bottom point of the
selection. This doesn't occur if the selection only contains text below the
height of the bottom of the text in the right column (the Actions: options) -
selecting some text on the very bottom of the viewport and it works fine. I
tested on a couple of feeds so I'm guessing it's something to do with the way
Webkit makes the RSS page (rather than RSS errors).

(btw my workaround to select unlinked text is to double-click the first word,
hold shift and then double-click the last word)
