           Summary: When double clicking to select an element text, don't
                    include the ending newline in the selection

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All

When double clicking to select an element of text, the trailing newline of the text is selected. For example (and my apologies as I don't have anywhere to upload a nice example for you), in Google Chrome's about:version page, double clicking the webkit version information selects: "535.1 (branches/chromium/782 at 88413)\r\n" (dev build on Windows 7). Since the most common reason to select a text segment is to copy and paste it, a trailing newline is usually not desired. It would be better behavior to select the element up to, but not including, the final newline.
