Hm, it apparently works different with Windows (which is what I use at
work). I have Firefox installed here on W2k. A double click on a word in
a website selects only the word and no punctuation. Double clicking the
URL selects the whole URL. Does anyone know what the difference is
between W2k and Linux in relation to this?
