Text selecting/highlighting bug

The 10.5x versions brought this bug, which makes text selecting almost impossible and is quite annoying.

It's probably been discussed before (although I only found one related report in the beta forum), but I'm posting just in case.

Sometimes in the text boxes I highlight a piece of text, release the left mouse button and the text is no longer selected, so it can't be copied or edited in any other way. The workaround is to ctrl+c or whatever while still holding the mouse button.
Opera 12.13, Windows 7.

Yeah, this is annoying. However, you can still highlight text by holding Shift (+Ctrl to highlight entire words) and using the arrow keys. That kind of highlighting usually sticks.
