           Summary: REGRESSION (NativeTextField): Word granularity allows
                    selection of partial words that contain punctuation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: data:text/html,Customers don’t expect selection to
                    behave like this 99.9% of the time. 127.0.0.1 is an IP

            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Regression, NativeTextField, NeedsRadar
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Forms

When expanding a selection with word granularity, it's possible to select only
part of a word that contains punctuation if the cursor is positioned over the
punctuation.

To reproduce, open the URL, double-click the first word and continue dragging
across the text. Notice how "don't", "99.9" and "127.0.0.1" are fully selected
as the cursor enters them, but the selection contracts back to only part of the
word as the pointer moves over the punctuation.

For form controls, this is a regression from Safari 2.0.
