When a textarea has lot of text, so it is scrolled up, the mouse cannot be used to select the complete text. As soon as the mouse is dragged up out of the textarea, instead of scrolling it up and selecting the text that wasn't visible, the textedit scrolls down and some lines from the end are selected.
text in a textarea can be selected from top to bottom but not from bottom to top. kde 4.2.90/92, qt 4.5.1 added a testcase.

still valid in 4.6.5
Could you please check if this is still valid in Konqueror 4.8.4 and later?
Simply try the attached testcase: it IS still reproducible with 4.9beta1 The textedit does scroll down while selecting but never scrolls up.
