GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 100155
Double click in terminal window do not select non ascii characters
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When double clicking in a GNOME terminal window a "word" should be selected. The default is ASCII letters and a few more ASCII characters. But, non-ASCII characters cannot be selected. To reproduce, use menu to access the current profile and change the list of character to be selected as a "word" to whatever some non ASCII characters are included. For example, A-Za-z0-9,./?%?:_$¡-÷åäöÅÄÖ Neither specifying characters separately åäöÅÄÖ nor as a range "¡-÷" does work. Adding ASCII characters like $ in example above works.
Created attachment 12747 [details] [review] Use PangoLogAttr to detect word break
commit a patch to the HEAD. * libzvt/zvti18n.c: * libzvt/update.c: * libzvt/libzvt.h: #Fix 100155: Use PangoLogAttr to detect word break. This change obsoletes current terminal-profile's word character user setting, although it's consistent way to handle word break which are done by other gtk+ applications like gedit.
Comments from Havoc in the bug 100487 is rational. Reopening.
