24773 - double-click selects punctuation along with word

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16352

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect, P3)

Description

[Neil Cronin]

Steps to Reproduce:
1) double click any of the below lines of html

Actual Results: punctuation gets selected along with word

Expected Results: only word gets selected (as with other browsers, word-proc's,
everything-except-MS-notepad, etc)

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 2000012116

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:  none

Additional Information: It seems like there should be an array of cases where
the selection stops.  it seems like that case is now only the space character.

Confirmed on NT.

Actually, double-clicking inside the word is including the space after the
word too. That is bug 11544, "double-click selection includes extra space",
ASSIGNED, M15. In these cases, the punctuation must be being considered part
of the word.

Tested with: 2000-01-20-08-M13 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3.

This is a duplicate of 16352.

Neil, I can attach the test case from that bug report to the bug if you'd like to 
personally double-check (and/or identify omissions in the test case.)

Thanks!
