seriously. double click a word in a gtk text entry now... the space is NOT
selected. just the word. hit backspace to delete the word selected and just the
selected word is deleted and u end up with the "2 spaces" if there was a space
before and after the word. i am doing it RIGHT now in gedit, sylpheed and
thunderbird and it does EXACTLY this. now i test this in qt (kcachegrind) and
PRESTO... the EXACT same thing. double click a word to select it and JUST the
word is selected, NOT the trailing space. hit del and JUST the word is deleted.

i don't know what you have been smoking but there is proof. edje entry
behaviour is 100% consistent with gtk and qt (i cant speak for windows, java,
macos etc.) in the above regard.
