133312 - Double clicking words with umlauts/accents doesn't select complete word

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Selection, defect)

Description

[Joachim Johansson]

When I double click in a form to mark a word that contains an umlaut letter, the
marking stops at the umlaut if I double click on the word before the umlaut.
This doesn't apply if I double click after the umlaut.

Double click to select words with umlaut characters works for me on linux cvs
2002-03-25. Reporter, what is the build id of your Mozilla (in the window title
bar)? Consider using Bugzilla Helper
<http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html> to report bugs. Does
double-click selection work ok otherwise on web pages, outside forms?

Double clicking on a word with an umlaut in a form works fine for me.

Is it only umlauts or any non-ascii characters?  Do you see the problem on a web
page (in the content area) or only when editing in a text area or input?
I do see this on my mac 8.6 setup but it's not consistent.
Pink--what is the preference for the mac-selection for non-Mac platforms to set?

these are the win32 defaults (from winpref.js). invert values to get mac
behavior (which are the code defaults, i think).

// override double-click word selection behavior.
pref("layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word", true);
pref("layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation", false);

reopening bug; I don't think it should be resolve WONTFIX if it's really a
duplicate.  I don't think it's a duplicate of 127321 necessarily since that is a
navigation issue rather than a selection issue (move caret vs double-click).

This might be a duplicate of bug 121123 but I don't think it should be
duplicated without more investigation.
