if text is selected in the editor, clicking on text outside of the selected area
properly unselects the text, but a single click inside the selected text does
not unselect the text, which it should. this probably has to do with the
newly-added drag and drop support.

Very anoying behavior BTW. Even clicking once outside of selected text doesn't
remove the selection.

Comment 2 Martin Roskanin 2005-06-28 13:42:42 UTC

we will fix it to NB 4.2

while the text is now unselected when you click inside the text, the cursor
position is still incorrect. it should be moved to the clicked position.
