Title:
  TextArea should allow mouse selections if mouse present

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When I write a message and want to replace, delete or copy part of the
  text, I am unable to select it with the mouse, left button pressd and
  moving it to cover all words needed.

  If I do that, text is not highlighted but there is a sub-menu which
  comes and proposes "Select all", "Select word", "Paste", "Undo".

  It's fine but not very easy, I prefer - like in any other application
  - be able to select many words or rows by moving mouse with left
  button pressed.

  Here it is possible to double-click on 1 word and select it, then
  click anywhere in the window to unselect.

  Also, it is possible to do "Ctrl + A" which selects all the text, but
  then impossible to unselect just by clicking one time in the message
  window, I have to double click whichs selects the last word of the
  message, and then again one click to uneselect.

  I don't know if this behavior is volunteer but it's not very practical
  on a desktop PC. I guess there are features for smartphones and
  tablets UI, where there is no mouse but direct finger selection, and
  it sounds logical, but please adapt when Friends is used on a computer
  if possible !
