YMMV, but on my older iBook, I cannot get text in complex HTML, if it extends beyond a single screen, to select by anything but the method I described. No matter how I nudge the mouse at the second location, it won't "catch", as you put it. My method invariably works for me. Difference in machines? Monitors? Mice?
