"According to the the Gnome Terminal documentation at http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/gnome-terminal-prefs.html.en
Select-by-word characters Use this text box to specify characters or groups of characters that GNOME Terminal considers to be words when you select text by word.
I currently have the default Select-by-word characters: -A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~
Before upgrade to 9.04 (GNOME 2.26), I could select the text before or after the a Select-by-word character, now it will select the entire "word", before and after the symbol, including the symbol.
Example:
words.before.at@words.after.at
On GNOME 2.24: Action, double click the word "before" would select "words.before.at" Action, double click the word "after" would select "words.after.at"
On GNOME 2.26: Action, double click the word "before" selects "words.before.at@words.after.at" Action, double click the word "after" selects "words.before.at@words.after.at" "
Removing or adding the @ to the select-by-word doesn't make any difference.
thanks in advance.
Version: 2.26.x
Resolution: RESOLVED WONTFIX
