Description Simon Kaegi CLA 2011-03-06 00:35:28 EST 
I was moving variables around noticed my selections were including the one space after so for example, for var myVar = 7; double-clicking on myVar selected "myVar ".
Comment 1 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2011-05-13 15:49:44 EDT 
Silenio, at some point we will have to add API to let the application have more control over this, but for now, should we change the default double click to select from word start to word end ?


note, selecting from word start to word start is not strictly incorrect, many editor do that.
