Gedit word select doesn't include space

Bug description:
When I select a word from a sentence by double clicking, it should include
the nearest space and or non letter character (trailing if I click near the
last letter and leading if I click near the first letter). Then when I drag or
delete, I don't have to go back and delete the extra space from where the word
was taken and type one in where the word is dropped off. Not everyone wants
this, so select behavior should be set in a preferences menu. Microsoft word
has this feature and it's selection behavior is even more sophisticated. Check
it out.
Example 1:
These are the that times try men's souls -- now I select the word "times"
These are the that *times* try men's souls -- now if I drag to proper
location, I get
These are the timesthat try men's souls -- now I have to insert a space
between "times" and "that" and delete one after "that"
Corrected Example 1:
These are the that times try men's souls -- now I select the word "times"
which includes trailing space (dbl clk on "es")
These are the that *times *try men's souls -- now if I drag to proper
location, I get
These are the times that try men's souls -- now it's perfect
Example 2 - commas
I'll take red, orange, brown, *yellow, *and white marbles -- select "yellow"
including comma and trailing space and move it
I'll take yellow, red, orange, brown, and white marbles -- now it's perfect
