text in firefox edit boxes in web pages can not be marked

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Open a web page allowing to input data (ex. www.facebook.com, or any other bloging site. Start to enter text into a text field. Try to mark some part of the written text with the mouse. Cursor is set to the click position, but you are not able to mark text. Since no text marked, copying doesn't work.

You can mark text within a text box: set the cursor at the beginning, then press shift, click at the end of the area to be marked. Now the text is marked and you can copy it.

I have seen this with firefox and opera. konqueror does not have this bug.
