If I have the following text in a composer window: This is the important bug (12345). If I double click on the number between the parentheses, the selection generated spans from the left parentheses through the period. I'd prefer it only select the number, as that's what I'm probably trying to edit. There needs to be better selection word break logic. While this may be mjudge's area, this may need to be different when editing as opposed to browsing.
cc myself; reassign to erik since I think he's the current owner of code for word breaks.

Shanjian and Frank, what word-breaking rules are we currently using?
Shanjian, I think this is a word-breaking issue. This one may not be as high priority as your other bugs, so please prioritize accordingly.

Base on my understanding of the word break code, we are forcusing on line break instead of anything else. For word selection, word jumping, a new word breaking rule should be used.
the problem is in the nsTextTransformer.cpp

I'd be extremely surprised if there was any good reason for the behavior to be different in editing than it is in browsing. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16352 ***
