...there seems to be some script that prevents you from selecting text to copy or search etc.
For example, highlighting a word or piece of text inside the code-parts of the page immediately changes the selection to instead select ALL of the surrounding code.
This makes it impossible to, for example, copy a piece of the text, or to use any right-click features of the browser, like searching for a highlighted word.
I'm guessing this is meant to be helpful, but it really screws the user.
Please don't mess with core functionality in the browser this way.
( I have tested in several common browsers, with no extra add-ons)
Correction:
Seems like its mouse-up that triggers it, not on-click.
I can select a couple of letters, but when i let go of the mouse button, the selection is altered.

Yeah I thought I was being clever when I implemented this feature. Turns out it creates more issues than it solves. Awesome animated gif example @mikestreety! I'll go ahead and remove the JavaScript snippet that adds this functionality. Thanks everyone!
