          Issue ID: 126695
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Tabs that bisect words and result in a new line result
                    in wonky drag-selection of text.
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.2.0-dev
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 10
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: editing
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Environment: 
 Windows 10 64-bit
 AOO420m1(Build:9800) - Rev. 1692551

Issue:
If I use the tab key to bisect a word (press tab with the cursor in the middle
of a word), and the tab results in a newline being created, trying to use
drag-selection of the left word segment results in the right-most letter not
being highlighted. Drag-selecting leftwards or rightwards both have the issue.

Animation showing the behavior in action: http://i.imgur.com/knCGqgD.gifv
I press tab in the middle of "maecenas" and try to highlight "maec" but it
gives me issues with the letter c. 

Steps to replicate:
- Go to tools > Options > OpenOffice Writer > General
- Set tab stops to something large like 2,50"  (inches) to facilitate tabs that
result in new lines.
- Press OK
- Use the tab key to bisect a word (so "elephant" becomes "elep   hant" for
example) but the tabbing action has to result on "hant" being on a new line.
- Attempt to highlight "elep"  using dragging left or right. 
- It will behave oddly during the highlighting process and not quite work
right.
- Attempt to put the cursor after the letter p by clicking to the right of it
- It will place the cursor immediately to the left of the letter p.
