Description Dan Winship 2001-02-23 21:17:52 UTC 
When you double-click on a word, it selects that word, but if you then
drag, it behaves as though you hadn't double-clicked. (It unhighlights
the word, and starts re-highlighting from the point where you clicked,
rather than extending the highlight in word increments.)
Comment 1 Larry Ewing 2001-03-07 19:05:42 UTC 
how many text selection things actually implement this behavior?
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2001-03-08 18:52:01 UTC 
I don't know of any text selection thing that implements double-click to
select a word that doesn't also implement double-click-drag.

Huh. OK, having said that, it seems that GtkEntry doesn't. How bizarre.
Motif does. xterm and gnome-terminal do. emacs does.

GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. 
Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. 
It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
