I don't think this is nearly as likely to have an impact on web compatibility as bug 22261. Also, as Tony pointed out, many users of Windows Chrome complained about this before we stopping doing it on Windows.*

I think we should do the platform-specific behavior here.
1. There are a non-trivial number of people that expect each platform's behavior.
2. This is not likely to have an impact on web compatibility or significantly complicate the code.
3. GTK, Chrome Windows and Chrome Linux already don't select the word on right-click.

So, the questions are whether QT/Safari-Win are OK with not selecting the word on right-click. Can people from QT and Safari-Win chime in if that seems OK?

As far as implementation, we need to have an EditingLinuxBehavior before we can fix this since GTK currently sets EditingMacBehavior.

* This diff doesn't show it, but elsewhere, Chrome does the correct Mac behavior of selecting the word on Chrome Mac.
