In the transition from Rev 2.8.1 to 2.9.0 (Mac and Windows versions at least), there has been a change in double-click-text and triple-click-text behaviors.

The 2.8.1 behaviors are exactly the same as they are in the several other apps on each platform where I tested this. The 2.9.0 behaviors aren't.

In 2.9.0, it seems the trailing CR gets selected with the rest of the line upon triple-click, causing any replacement text to be inserted at the beginning of what was originally the line following the selected line. So the list linecount is shortened by one line.

Actually, this appears to be a fix in response to RQCC#5636:

Related, same fix:

The challenge here is determining what the "standard" behavior is, and unfortunately Apple's HIG is vague on this subject:

   Some applications support triple-clicking. For example, in
   a word processor, the first click sets the insertion point,
   the second click selects the whole word, and the third
   click selects the whole sentence or paragraph. Supporting
   more than three clicks is inadvisable.

Looking at examples in the wild, in non-Apple apps triple-click behaviors appear to be implemented inconsistently: in Firefox and Thunderbird a triple-click does not include the trailing return, but in Adobe GoLive it does.

But in Apple apps like TextEdit, Stickies, iWeb, and iCal, a triple-click consistently includes the trailing return.
