Description Kees de Jong 2012-06-09 20:17:23 UTC 
I have two problems:
1) When I want to click on a link inside an email then it selects text. When I
click beside the text selection with my left mouse button then it selects even
more text in a random fashion. This makes it impossible to open links normally.
To open them anyway, I need to close the email I'm attempting to open a link
from. Then reopen the mail and then open the link by clicking the right mouse
button and select 'open with browser'.

2) When I do want to select text then the text selection jumps everywhere. So
it's nearly impossible to select the text that I want to select.

This problem only occurs with HTML formatted emails.


I can reproduce this bug on two machines. I like to hear from you guys.
I'm using Debian Wheezy Testing.



Thank you.
