Click from selection propagates to browser window
Status: Alpha
Brought to you by:

In Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 after clicking to select a
match in the selection dialog, the click will propagate
to the browser window and start a text highlight if
there is selectable text below the point where the
click was made. This behavior does not occur in IE6.
This is easily recreated by clicking the first choice
in the selection dialog on the demo webpage. When you
move the mouse, the browser acts as if the mouse button
is being held down to drag-select text.
I have already attempted to call freezeEvent() on the
event passed to handleClick() but the behavior still
occurs.
If you have any questions or find a solution to this
problem, please contact me at ted at dsndata dot com.
