Annoying selection bug

[Max Clendenning]

 Often when I select/highlight a bunch of text across multiple cells in a table, the resulting selection is actually just a small piece of text in a single cell where I released my drag - as if it only recorded the last snippet of my drag instead of where I started when I pressed the mouse button. 
 I can reproduce this intermittently but consistently (maybe 3/10 times). I am not double clicking or physically releasing the mouse button early. This only happens in Confluence - I can export the same content to Word and with the same content and same mouse and NEVER have this happen.

 I really hate this bug - it slows down my table editing.

I figured out a 100% repro and a way to avoid it.

When selecting multiple cells, if your cursor releases over a section of text, it will unexpectedly select only that chunk of text in that one cell instead of the multiple cells you were originally selecting.
 Instead, if you make an effort to hover over some dead space (not text), it will keep all the selected cells you wanted.

Now that I know the trick it is not so bad, but I have needed to teach others this method to get them to despise Confluence a little less. I do recommend that it get fixed.
