Comment #114 on issue 26140 by [email protected]: Chrome Linux single click  
does not select all
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=26140

After some thought, I don't think we should implement what the UI leads  
described
initially.

The reason we allowed a variance from typical Chrome behavior for Linux was  
the
prevalence of the selection clipboard.

For this reason, I think the selection mode should be determined by whether  
or not
the selection clipboard is active. If it's active, clicking once inserts  
the caret.
If it's inactive, clicking once selects everything.

This allows us to avoid adding an independent option, which sets a bad  
precedent for
all platforms.
