I am running F20 with the latest updates, and recently there is a
problem with text selection. While it is very prevalent in Thunderbird,
I also had the problem In Firefox and in gnome terminal. Since this
occurs across applications, I then installed KDE Plasma to eliminate
Gnome. The problems definitely occur in KDE as well as Gnome 3.10.3.
Additionally, I'm seeing some similar problems on Konsole.
The problem is that in some cases when I try to select text I either
cannot select an entire body of text. or sometimes a substitution is
done. I also noticed that in Thunderbird sometimes when I left click on
a button, it tends to double click.

I sometimes run Thunderbird at work via X over IP therough an SSH tunnel
to RHEL 5.10, and the problem does not occur so it seems that the issue
appears with the local X server. As an example, I clicked at the end of
the previous sentence and the background panel came up, so it seems that
it is not restricted to an application or rendering engine. At this
point I am wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.
