Richard,
It is probably very difficult for the Rev team to make a fundamental
change today without creating some problems for somebody. I didn't
realize the new behavior was specifically requested.
If the majority of Rev users want the current triple-click behavior,
it is fine with me - as long as I get a standard double-click.
The triple-click for changing prices was a workaround for the Rev
double-click which only selects one side of the decimal. In all of
the programs I use regularly, a double-click selects a word. If there
is a period (or any other punctuation) attached to the end of the
word, it is ignored. If there is a decimal within the word, it is
treated as part of the word - and selected with the word.
Do you see any problem with Rev behaving in the same way?

In the transition from Rev 2.8.1 to 2.9.0 (Mac and Windows

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.
