When you view the episodes of a series, for example this page:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436992/e...

At the top, there is : "◄ Doctor Who"
If you double click it, to highlight it, it will highlight that entire text above.
It should just highlight the "Doctor Who" text and not the arrow, as no one would be interested in copying the title together with the arrow.

To do that, please change:

< div class="parent">
< h3 itemprop="name">
< span class="leftarrow">◄ 

With:
< div class="parent">
< spa n class="leftarrow">◄ 
< h3 itemprop="name">

(I broke the tags so that you may see it as text.
Seems that html is parsed too.)

Thank you ! :)

As a fellow Whovian, I'm sorry I did not see your problem report earlier.

I was unable to replicate your problem using Firefox and Internet Explorer.8.0 running Windows XP.

What browser and operating system are you using? This may help in identifying why you are having this issue.

Hello brother ! :))

I am using FF2.0 and Win7SP1.
Sorry but it is impossible not to be able to replicate it.
The issue should be in every browser.

Let me try to explain again.

When you double click, in the empty space, from the right side of the DW title, the title and arrow get highlighted and you may right click for the context menu and copy the name. "Problem" is that, when you double click the empty area from the right side of the text-title, it selects the arrow too. Doing the html change i proposed will fix this.

I would advise the arrow is better set so that it might be as a background which cannot be highlighted and copied.

It is just a minor issue that i think it may be good to fix....

Allonz-y !

The issue is rather subtle. I was finally able to replicate what you described.

I agree that it would be better to keep the arrow as background for people wishing to copy the text. However, this is probably a minor issue as you pointed out.

Yes, agreed. Its a pretty minor issue, but it may be nice if it could be fixed.
Of course if the development team doesnt have more important issues to deal with, like security issues or more important matters.
