---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2012-07-05 21:46:00 -0700 ----

Original Redmine bug id: 5511
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5511
Searchable id: yorba-bug-5511
Original author: Daniel Fore
Original description:

Attempting to select the first CC address leads to an (apparently) random
selection. starting the selection from either the beginning or end of the
address causes this.

If I don't aim extremely precisely, I can't select the last character of the
address.

Attempting to start the selection from the end is extremely difficult since
starting the drag too far out won't start selecting until half-way through the
address.

It should be possible to triple-click and select only this address.

I've attached a screenshot of the random selected bits.

  * **Subject** changed from _Can't select first CC address_ to _Can't easily select CC addresses and other header fields_
  * **Category** set to _client_
  * **Target version** set to _0.2_

Right. The problem is more general than that: selecting works poorly in header
fields in general right now.
