Bug Description
When I write a message and want to replace, delete or copy part of the text, I am unable to select it with the mouse, left button pressd and moving it to cover all words needed.
If I do that, text is not highlighted but there is a sub-menu which comes and proposes "Select all", "Select word", "Paste", "Undo".
It's fine but not very easy, I prefer - like in any other application - be able to select many words or rows by moving mouse with left button pressed.
Here it is possible to double-click on 1 word and select it, then click anywhere in the window to unselect.
Also, it is possible to do "Ctrl + A" which selects all the text, but then impossible to unselect just by clicking one time in the message window, I have to double click whichs selects the last word of the message, and then again one click to uneselect.
I don't know if this behavior is volunteer but it's not very practical on a desktop PC. I guess there are features for smartphones and tablets UI, where there is no mouse but direct finger selection, and it sounds logical, but please adapt when Friends is used on a computer if possible !

Another problem with this Ubuntu Touch UI is the lack of scrollbar on desktop PC : OK there is a "Top" button to go back to the top of Timeline, very useful, but when I want to move up or down through a long Timeline, I can't do it as there is no scrollbar to the right like in other applications, I have to scroll with the middle button of mouse. It's longer than just click on scrollbar and move fast...
