1782922 - double-clicking on a word and extending the selection by shift-click another word doesn't select the whole word

Status: NEW

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

Description

[Edgar Chen [:edgar]]

(from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779913)

Test string:
one two three

STR:

1. double click the test string on "n" of "one".
2. shift click to extend selection on "w" of "two".

Actual request:
"one tw" is selected

Expected result:
"one two" is selected.

Safari and Chrome both select the whole word while extending the selection by shift-click if the selection is initialized by double clicking.

BTW, in Firefox, Ctrl+Shift+double-click works instead of Shift+double-click.
