Using IE6 & IE7, if the first character in a text box is a pound sign (#),
then any characters that follow can not be selected normally with the mouse
(left-to-right drag). To ensure it wasn't my site, I tried it at
microsoft.com and ibm.com. Used the search box on the opening page in both
cases.
Some notes:
-- right-to-left selection works, as does clicking an insertion point,
holding down shift, and clicking an endpoint for the selection.
-- text can be selected (both directions) using shift + the keyboard arrows
-- adding a second pound sign later in the text box makes everything
selectable
Any ideas/explanations?
