Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Package-Hint: rhythmbox
Rhythmbox-Version: 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4
Ubuntu Version: 8.10, 2.6.27-9-generic Kernel

If I double klick on a word in the line where the title of the current song is displayed (between the control element and the progress bar), the whole word gets marked (as expected). If I than move my mouse to a word next to it, only the letters which my mouse has passed are marked.

I would expect, a behaviour liek for example in epiphany, where whole words are marked if I start with a double klick on a word.

I attached an image to make clear what I mean.

Thank you for your quick answer and for taking care of forwarding this upstream.

I just noticed that this also occurs in Evolution:
1. Mark a mail so that its content gets displayed in the preview window.
2. Start marking text in the mail (like I tried it with rhythmbox
3. Have similar trouble
