Public bug reported:
When in LibreOffice Writer, text selection with the mouse will sometimes
work, sometimes not and is generally unreliable.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a Writer document in OpenOffice,
2. Press the left mouse on a piece of text and keep pressed,
3. Start dragging the mouse to select a piece of text.
Expected behaviour:
The selected text is highlighted until you release the mouse button.
Actual behaviour:
More often than not, the text will stop being highlighted sometime during the
drag, often when the drag goes over a word boundary but not always.
