Safari shows reversed drag-select behavior in text boxes: bottom left, top
right. See screen capture. Text selection in Google's search filed is reversed.
Text selection in the address bar is working correctly.
(see attached screen capture)

Still occurs in Leopard 9A325

This happens because when you drag to the top right, that position is actually
before the text field in the DOM, so the selection code selects all content in
the text field before the caret.  In the bottom-left case, that mouse position
is after the text field in the DOM.  So the selection code behaves as if it
were going to select all of the content in between the caret and the new mouse
position-- but it stops short at the text field boundary.

I'm not sure what the right fix is for this.  Maybe adjustForEditableContent
would need to be more aware of this case.
