Description

was just able to duplicate the bug using the code example from the end of the Text documentation page in Flex 3.5 reference.

(http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/mx/controls/Text.html)

Just replace their htmlText in that example with a huge block of htmlText containing anchors tags. Then make the browser window small. Then click some arbitrary area of the htmlText with the mouse (That step is important.) Then scroll using the thumb. Stop the scroll with the cursor directly over one of the hyperlinks you created and release the mouse. The entire block of htmlText is selected and highlighted and the mouse pointer will not revert to a hand. (Well it will after you click somewhere else.)
