Gnumeric 1.6.3, Ubuntu Dapper

1. Enter some text in a cell.
2. Drag from one part of the text to another.

What should happen:
* The text between those two points should be selected.

What actually happens:
* The insertion point moves.

Selection works properly in the formula bar, which then produces a misleading appearance in the cell, as it shows no selection but continues blinking its insertion point.
