Select All in code boxes

In Firefox (maybe IE too), if you do Select All, it selects the whole page, not just inside the code box.

Example:

Code:

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Yes, in IE if you place the mouse in the code box and press Ctl+A it selects
the entire page too. LOL.

Same here, and the annoying thing about the scroll box is when you do try and manually select all, it won't scroll. You have to hold down shift to make it work.

haha, that works fine for me, If I hold down the mouse and pull down the box scrolls down and I get to select it all :D.

Mind if I click select all the same happens as you say ;).

Yup, selecting works fine with the mouse. Its very fast too, not much harder than pushing Ctrl + A. Good enough for me as it is.

Works pretty well for me too in FF 0.8. And remember that FF is using an other rendering engine then IE for forms controlls, that is much faster then the IE one...
