Hi,

The following problem occurs when I use Firefox 5 (just tried go back
to 3.6 but the same problem), so it seems to be some new function in
GT recently,
(may it be the new shift + click on a partial translation/word and
drag-n-drop??),
 which makes it impossible to select just some part of the translated
text (from English to Chinese).

This means:
1* I can't copy a partial selection of the output translation because
GT doesn't allow partial text to be highlighted/selected when dragging
the mouse over the partial text. (it only works if the text is
selected from the FIRST character in a sentence.)
2* Further on, when hovering over some part of the output result, (in
some cases GT will allow the user click on a character group
(encompassed by a Yellow mark-up colour) to see a drop-down list-box
with alternative partial translations)... However, in order for me to
make the correct choice I use a Firefox CN-to-ENG add-on language tool
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/words-chinese-pinyin-
dictionar/) to check the different options to get an instant detailed
information by selecting the text, but, since the text can't be
selected any more I can't make any partial check.
3* Some times GT don't have any translation options for a part of a
sentence, so I need to check out different English sentences to get a
suitable output, but again, as the partial text selection doesn't
work, I can't check anything!

3 VERY painful obstacles... :(

Can you please make something about this problem so we can select only
a part of the translated text?
Chinese is a difficult language and I really need that Firefox add-on
tool to check the result in detail !

Thank you very much for a great tool!
