[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #127 double-clicked selections are not click extendible

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

This is fixed now on both accounts. Points 1) and 2) are now working as expected. 
Note that [Ticket #123: In TeX mode there are two different definitions of word](http://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/tickets/123/) still needs to be solved.

Changes committed to the repository ([rev. 1322](http://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1322/)). The core must be rebuilt.

1) If you double-click-and-release on a word to have it selected, and then 
shift-click at the following word, nothing happens.  The correct behaviour would
be to extend the selection.  (This behaviour is in AlphaX and in most other
editable-text fields.  For example this works in AlphaCocoa's text field inside
the search dialogue!)

It works correctly if the the first selection was made by click-drag-release.
So somehow there are two kinds of selections, which is already strange.

2) In fact the really nice word-selection extensions (which also work in AlphaX
and most other places) are made by double-clicking on a word and then
moving the mouse /without releasing the mouse button/, until the desired 
selection is reached, and then release.  The great thing about this technique
is that the double-click that initiated the drag-selection ensures that only 
whole words are selected.

I consider the first a bug.  The second is perhaps rather a feature request.
