clicking inside non text-entry spaces still creates focus

Bug Description

In firefox, clicking on text in a webpage simply brings the page to front, so to speak. But now in epiphany, clicking on text (not text-entry, mind you) creates... that little blinky line thing. This is annoying, because it means you can no longer rely on the arrow keys or space bar to move down the page.

I'm sorry if this bug report isn't very clear; I either can't remember or never knew the technical terms involved. If I haven't made the bug sufficiently clear, please let me know.

Thanks for your bug. I would say that's a feature, with firefox you can't select text with the keyboard. I'll ping upstream about that
