           Summary: Can't create range from "double-clicked" selection
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fabriceperrinel at gmail.com


Please help because it starts to turns me mad...
When selecting text by double clicking in a word,
var selection = getSelection()
result in the same value for baseOffset and extentOffset, that is, the exact
place between two chars where the dblclick occured.
However, the "true" selection may exists actually "somewhere" because :
selection.type returns "Range",
selection.isCollapsed accordingly returns "False",
selection.toString() correctly returns the "visually" selected string (which is
insane),
and in a "contentEditable" context, I can perfom operations on it...

The only way I found to retrive the selection is :
var selstring = selection.toString()
Collapse selection to its baseOffset and extentOffset points (which are the
same actually).
Then extent selection backward until it matches the start of selstring.
Then extent forward until its length matches the length of selstring.

Regards

Fabrice
