** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Affects any selection of text inside iframe blocks; in any package depending
on gtkhtml (evolution, xiphos)
+
+ ** there is another possible issue with selection inside <frame> blocks,
+ though this is not addresses in this bug report nor in the patch
+ provided, being a separate issue. **
+
+ [Development Fix]
+ A small fix was identified upstream in GtkHTML code, a patch is provided in
the upstream bug report. That patch was packaged in Quantal as gtkhtml4.0
4.2.2-1ubuntu2.
+
+ [Stable Fix]
+ The gtkhtml4.0 package 4.2.2-1ubuntu2 is applicable directly on precise with
no changes, and contains only this bug's fix as changes from the version
available in Precise.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1) Open Evolution
+ 2) Select an email that shows in HTML (or rich text, with bolds, fonts, etc.)
+ 3) Attempt to select text.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The piece of code being changed affects scrolling sizes and selection ranges;
possible regressions would likely affect scrolling behavior and selection in
other applications depending on GtkHtml. This is expected to be low risk since
few applications depend on the library, the current behavior being already
provably incorrect, with a very small and focused patch.
+
+ ----
+
Since very recently, whenever I left-click on a character inside a
message's text, all the text from the top to the said character gets
selected. Actually it behaves like if I hold the "shift" key while
clicking.
