Description jnoreiko 2004-11-19 13:11:00 UTC 
When text that has a first-line or left indent is selected, the selection
highlight covers the space between the page left-hand margin and the left-hand
edge of the text.
This makes the user think that there are space characters there rather than
nothing at all.

Furhtermore, when selecting line by line, the "indent area" is selected for the
line after the last actually selected line.

MRU->AMA: competitor does it better. I think, a good thing to "fix" for post-OO
2.0 era.

This happens only when the enter key is used as part of the text that is been
selected.
