No, the problem is that Google Chrome in Linux treats the textbox the same way the textbox is treated every, other, place in Linux. Browsers in Windows are the only place that this behavior is exhibited. It's the exception behavior. That's like saying "Chrome uses metacity instead of the OS X window decorations". If it makes you feel any better, I'd like to be able to override the platform default so that single clicking in Chrome at work doesn't select all of the text.
