The selection mechanism has never had the ability to select a single
line or multiple words. It works by selecting HTML elements, so if a
paragraph of text is within a <p> or <div> block, the smallest selection
possible is that block.

Until we get proper text selection in oxide, I’m afraid we can’t do
better than that.
