            Bug ID: 149254
           Summary: Make the selection behavior when double-clicking a
                    word a user preference.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I would like to see the behavor when double-clicking a word be user-modifiable
preference.  Most WYSIWIG editors I use, including the one I'm using to create
this report, select a group of consecutive letters plus trailing whitespace up
to the punctuation or the next letter.  Writer selects only the word.  This is
not necessarily /wrong/ behavior, however it is contrary to what my muscle
memory expects.  The behavior is especially bothersome when editing a document
as I tend to write a lot and then delete words either as a group, or one at a
time.  To delete a word I have to hit the delete key twice, once for the word,
once for the space.  

This is an admittedly minor point, but it can be irritating when I really want
to focus on what I'm doing rather than the technology.

Thanks!

Chris
