Tom,
On my MacBook triple clicking on a word selects the whole line, but not the whole paragraph. It is interesting that we get different results. I wonder if it has something to do with the version of Java we’re running.
One other quibble: I tried dragging and dropping a contact from the Mac OS Address application and could not get it into the Brain that way.

Actually, I stand corrected on this. I think when I tested it, I saw it highlight the line. SInce that line was the paragraph, I assumed incorrectly that it was exhibiting the expected behavior. Sorry.
