marking code with ctrl A

I remember that I used to be able to put my cursor in the quotes box or code box, click on Ctrl A and Ctrl C and I could copy the contents of the box. Since the new code boxes (maybe the Togglers?) were introduced, this doesn't work anymore. No matter where you put your cursor in the code, it copies the whole webpage. Is there any way to have it so you could still copy the contents this way with the Togglers and new code boxes?

Thanks.

What browser are you currently using? As I have not encountered this problem before.

I'm using FF3.6 and if I CTRL+A I just get the whole page selected as mentioned above too.

I've never been able to put my cursor in the code or quote box and select just that. It has always selected the whole page for me...

Triple click (in linux at least) selects the code/quote box contents
Yep, works in Windows as well

Alright, the triple clicking selects a paragraph, not the whole thing for me in windows on FF.

Okay, I'm seeing this at all the forums I visit, so it must be a change in my browser, not the forums.

Thanks for your thoughts on it.
