Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2001-10-10 22:36:01 EDT 
Open the welcome editor (Help->Welcome), click down in one of the
	paragraphs that has "links" in it, but not on a link. Holding the mouse
	down, move the mouse around. This selects the text - what you would
	expect except for being extremely slow to show feedback! Now continue
	to move the mouse until you are over a link in the paragraph and let
	go of the mouse button. Voila, the wizard is launched.

Would be better to have an embedded html widget.

Reviewed patch.  For the case where the mouse up occurs over a link, I think 
the cursor should be changed to the hand.  Right now this is not the case.  You 
have to actually move the mouse.

Comment 7 Andrew Irvine CLA 2002-09-26 13:39:17 EDT 
Discussed the cursor changes with both Kevin and Todd, they believe that if the 
action is text selection then the cursor should be left as the I-beam, not the 
hand.  I did notice I had missed the case where the text selection began in a 
link, then I did not revert the cursor back to the I-beam.  The second patch 
2417b_patch provides this functionality.
Comment 8 Lynne Kues CLA 2002-09-26 14:09:45 EDT 
This not how links work in other html editors.  If you drag select over a link 
and let up the mouse over the link, the cursor indicates that you are over a 
link.  I think the behavior is incorrect, because if I press the mouse down I 
will be hyperlinked.  Did you understand what I meant?
