Description Dieter Verfaillie 2006-11-21 14:04:10 UTC
When viewing a document, double-click-drag does not select text per word/fragment like gedit, abiword, etc. It's rather hard "aiming" per character to select text.

Double-click-drag allows to select text (a paragraph for example) and
adds/removes complete words to the selection when dragging. Compare this
to single-click-drag which adds/removes single characters to the selection
when dragging.

309924 only talks about double-click and does not mention double-click-drag.
As such, 309924 should be a dependency of this report?
