Selecting text at beginning of line auto-selects timestamp/previous line

Reported by: adiumx@happywaffle.com Assigned to: anybody
Priority: normal Milestone: Good idea for "later"
Component: Adium Core Version: 1.0.2
Severity: minor Keywords: text message limit handle
Cc: Patch: None
Pending:

Description

When double-clicking the first word of a message, or when dragging to select a whole line and the cursor reaches the first word, Adium auto-selects part of the timestamp at the beginning of the line. If there is a previous message from the same sender, Adium also auto-selects the previous line. This makes selecting text for copy-pasting more difficult than it should be.

Tested using the "Eclipse" message style.

To reproduce, double-click the first word of any message, and the timestamp (and previous line, if there is one from the same sender) will partially select.

  • component changed from Core Adium to Xtras.

This is message style specific, but I'm not aware of a way to control selection within a webkit view.

Does this happen in any other message styles?

I've updated my copy of the message style, even restarted adium, but there still seems to be a problem when selecting the first word from a block of multiple messages from the same user.
