This looks like just a matter of what the default set of word selection
characters is.
CODE:
In src/settings.c line 124 we find:
setting->word_selection_characters = g_strdup("-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_");
Adding a ~ to the end of this string changes the default to include ~ .
WORKAROUND:
Users can change this preference themselves, by clicking on
Edit -> Preferences and then on the Advanced tab, and then typing ~ as the last
character in the "Select-by-word characters" field and then clicking the "OK"
button.
This setting is remembered across reboots, so a user would only need to
do this once to have the ~ always included in double-clicked selections
in future.
