Selecting (highlighting) text in an IM/Chat window
I thought I had this fixed in 2.1 - but it still happens, just less often.
When it does, it's still as maddening as ever.

yeah.....was wondering why it was listed as bugfixed but was still broken....
anyways i have some things that may be of some help:
1) selecting and clicking-to-move-the-blinky-cursor works just fine on the last line of wordwrapped lines, and lines that dont take up more than 1 line (confusing? sorry its almost 4am)
2) when clicking on any but the last line of a wordwrapped line, it acts as if the mouse was clicked at that exact X coordinate, just with a greater Y coordinate...
3) after moving the text-cursor to about the right place you can use the keyboard to select (arrow keys while holding down shift if anyones unfamiliar with the keyboard "shortcuts") what you wanted to select with the mouse....actually i like the keyboard better but thats me ;)
.....well have fun with those
