11544 - double-click selection includes extra space

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 16352

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

Description

[Akkana Peck]

Double-clicking on a word selects the word plus the space after it.  It should
select only the word.

word boundaries need help

Rubber-stamping as duplicate, since I'll be checking Akkana's scenario when
verifying 9981.

[Akkana Peck]

This bug was not fixed when 9981 was, so I'm un-duping it.

set to m12.  Mike consider moving this to M14 (post-beta) if no architectural
impact is expected.

setting this to M15, this can wait till after the beta push

Platform: Macintosh PowerBook G3/300, MacOS 9128Mb RAM, VM off.



I had another note to add to this bug. I noticed that double-clicking also likes

to select punctuation. So, for example, if you have:

(gee), look at that!

And you double-click the word "gee", Mac HIG states that simply the word "gee"

should have been selected. Instead, "(gee), " (with the space) is selected. This

is a pain when I just want to tweak a word and not worry about closing/opening

punctuation again.

Akkana--could you take a look at this one and see if you could fix it?

Comment 9

[Akkana Peck]

The test case inside bug 16352 now includes this case, so it should be safe to
dup this.
