Subject: [9fans] double click selects a word

Hello all

is there any good reason for a double click (in rio, sam, acme, ...)
to select a word  (probably) defined by sth. like
/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/
and not sth. white-space delimited instead?
Double clicking e.g. on 'text.txt' only selects 'text' or 'txt', while
one usually wants the whole. The same with absolute paths like
'/usr/ruda/lib/profile', etc. In linux a double-click usually
highlights the whole and usually this is what I want.

Would changing this behaviour break anything?

Thanks
Ruda
