r24499 <http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/24499> re-introduced
behavior to select the nearest word when right-clicking. However, this behavior
can often be very confusing. For example:

1. Go to http://webkit.org/
2. Resize the window so that you can see to the right of the Download button
3. Right-click to the right of the Download button

The word "The" in the heading of the page ("The WebKit Open Source Project")
gets selected. This is very far away from the mouse.

You can also end up with only whitespace getting selected, e.g. if you click
just to the right of the sentence "If you have more questions, contact us."
