           Summary: text selection does not always begin at mouse down point
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: idealisms at gmail.com


Sometimes when I try to select text in Safari on Windows, the selection starts
a few characters after I start dragging my mouse.  This looks like it's because
EventHandler::dragState().m_dragSrc does not get cleared between mouse downs. 
In WebCore/page/mac/EventHandlerMac.mm, this gets nulled out in
EventHandler::mouseDown.

Since it seems like this value needs to be reset on all platforms, maybe it
should be moved into EventHandler::handleMousePressEvent?

Test case coming up...
