My personal gmail hate is that I can't select more than a screenful of text by dragging. If there is lots of text and I want to delete it, I click and drag to the bottom of the screen. But it's not able to scroll itself while I'm dragging, so I can only delete a screenful at a time.
Cant you place the cursor at the top of the screen, scroll to the bottom, press shift and click at the bottom to select the whole chunk? This works in Mac OS at least.
