Manually selecting text with the mouse in "Post Edit" mode

[RhinoBull]

Using IE6 - when editing post I cannot select as much text as I need to - it stops (manual selection with the mouse) after x number of characters or lines...
I'm not sure what's causing this behavior but it's annoying since the upgrade - before upgrade it worked just fine.

btw, selecting text with keyboard works fine.

I've noticed that too but I think only while quick-editing.

What? The maximum number of characters allowed on the forum is 10 000. According to the forum counter the test thread here is 10, 000 characters. I am still able to select all that text in edit mode with the mouse.

Edit:

Or do you mean that the vertical scroll bar does not move after a certain number of lines?

Yes, it is while quick editing. Thanks Marty for confirming that.

I though I was clear - after clicking the EDIT button try to select text [quick edit mode] in the textbox by pressing and holding your mouse button down.
You will be able to select only limited number of characters - again, I'm using IE and please no unnecessary suggestions about FF, etc browsers.
Somehow, it (textbox?) stops selecting text... It happens most of the time (I would say 99%) but not always.

That's strange! I am using IE6 to edit the above linked post but I don't encounter the problem.

It doesn't happen all the time or even most of the time.
