Selection by mouse drag not working in Author Mode

[andygraham]

Hi

We are experiencing a problem with Oxygen 18 (build 2016051118) where, if you try to select some text using left button click and drag in Author Mode, the selection stops when you select a tag, or at some arbitrary point after, and fails to respond any further to dragging. Looks like this is a bug.

There are two workarounds, which our users are using right now:

1) Select text by clicking the start point, then shift-clicking the end point of the selection
2) Select text using the keyboard
