101555 - Double-clicking at the end of lines does not select the last word in the line

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[TucsonTester2]

Build ID: 20010924

In Composer if you double-click at the end of a line it does not highlight the
last word.

Reproducibility: everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open composer
2.Type some text (you need at least a couple words)
3.Double-click at the end of the line of text

Actual Results:
The last word in the line does not highlight. In order to highlight the last
word in the line you need to select it by dragging the mouse or double-clicking
the word.

Expected Results:
I would expect to be able to double-click at the end of a line in order to
highlight the last word in the line.  If you double-click at the end of a line
in a new mail document or at the end of a line in a form the text will highlight
fine.

EDITORBASE-, most people are going to double click the word.

I notice new similar behavior for this in 1.3b, where I am used to double
clicking past the end of the URL in the browser to select the entere URL present
(usually, as a shortcut to implicitly clear what is there as I type in some
other URL).
Rather than select the entire URL it just selects the final character.  I
believe this worked differently (correctly?) in prior versions.
