Title:
  Message text is selected on click (in HTML emails)

Status in GtkHTML:
  Fix Released
Status in gtkhtml4.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gtkhtml4.0 source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in gtkhtml4.0 package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Affects any selection of text inside iframe blocks; in any package depending on gtkhtml (evolution, xiphos)

  ** there is another possible issue with selection inside <frame>
  blocks, though this is not addresses in this bug report nor in the
  patch provided, being a separate issue. **

  [Development Fix]
  A small fix was identified upstream in GtkHTML code, a patch is provided in the upstream bug report. That patch was packaged in Quantal as gtkhtml4.0 4.2.2-1ubuntu2.

  [Stable Fix]
  The gtkhtml4.0 package 4.2.2-1ubuntu2 is applicable directly on precise with no changes, and contains only this bug's fix as changes from the version available in Precise.

  [Test Case]
  1) Open Evolution
  2) Select an email that shows in HTML (or rich text, with bolds, fonts, etc.)
  3) Attempt to select text.

  [Regression Potential]
  The piece of code being changed affects scrolling sizes and selection ranges; possible regressions would likely affect scrolling behavior and selection in other applications depending on GtkHtml. This is expected to be low risk since few applications depend on the library, the current behavior being already provably incorrect, with a very small and focused patch.

  ----

  Since very recently, whenever I left-click on a character inside a
  message's text, all the text from the top to the said character gets
  selected. Actually it behaves like if I hold the "shift" key while
  clicking.
