I have a frame with a TextArea and a TextField, each of them having some text in it. Both the text comps are non-focusable. Now when I try to select the text using mouse, the text is not getting selected. This is reproducible since Tiger on Win32 as well as Solaris / Linux with XToolkit. Not reproducible on Motif. Not reproducible on 1.4.2. Non-Focusability should not prevent any mouse operations from happening on the component. Text must be selectable even when the component is non-focusable.

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test. You would see a frame with a TextField and a TextArea. Try selecting the text shown in the above components. If you are unable to select, the bug is reproduced.
