selection and inline editor

[Harutyun Amirjanyan]

Why inline editor is activated on mousedown, instead of mouseup?
if it's activated on mouseup event it could transfer selection from
page if mouse position changed after mousedown, and select whole text
if user clicked without moving mouse
this way mouse interaction will be more natural, and even better than
in plain textbox
also it will make easy copying contents of more than one editable
element since if selection includes more than one of them inline
editor won't open

and one more question is there any plans to use contenteditable spans
instead of inputs, or other big changes to inline editor?

[John J Barton]

The only plans we have discussed that might impact the inline editor
is the merger of Firebug Lite and Firebug for Firefox code base to
create a Firebug front end for a remote debug capability. That change
would involve making the front end code cross browser.
