If it's a grid control asking the user to double-click on an item to
navigate to its details tab, then the auto-selection behavior looks really
ugly; it often selects text outside the grid and half the rest of the page,
even after an AJAX response has already replaced much of the render of what
the user was looking at. In this context, the default behavior of the
browser isn't even remotely what a user expects.

hi,
Actually, changing the default behavior of the browser may annoy the user
as much as an alert box. IMHO, If the user is used to double-click to
select everything and you change this behavior, the user will feel it's
not right.. at least, I'd do.
I hope it helps (a bit)
