Description gnome 2002-10-04 19:56:13 UTC 
1. bug:

Reproduce:

- 'ls -al in a directory with a lot of files.

- select on of the mode-bits at the begin of a line with a double-click
  and hold the button pressed

- move the cursor one line up, then back to the line you startet then
  to the right

The initial selected 'word' is no longer selected.

2. bug:

Selecting wordwise backwards forgets about the initial word if it is
_not_ the first word on a line.

3. bug:

not exactly a word select anomaly but: bug 2 holds for characters too.

This bug had been reportet for gnome-1.4 libzvt over a year ago.
See: http://www.forwiss.uni-passau.de/~berberic/Linux/gnome-terminal.html

To solve this problem we have to remeber the position of the start of
the selection and make sure the point is in the selection. The patch
solves the character-select-anomaly too.

Closing libzvt bugs since it's not actively maintained or used by anything in
the desktop these days. If you still have similar problems as the one filed here
with recent versions of gnome-terminal, please report it against vte, the new
terminal widget.
