How can I select a LineString with OpenLayer's SelectFeture at any position of the line?

-1

Following problem: My base layer is a OpenLayers.Layer.OSM.Osmarender layer. I draw a line with OpenLayers.Geometry.LineString in a second vector layer. With the Openlayer SelectFeature I want to select this line. But this is only possible at the startpoint and the endpoint. Is this a bug in the openlayer source?

This is my example: Click on the blue thick line selects the line only at startpoint and endpoint.
