    Unhappy Selecting text doesn't follow Windows convention

    Something that has annoyed me for a long time:

    You have a piece of text that is at least two words long, e.g. Site Map
    You want to select two or more consecutive words
    You double-click Site which highlights that word and then, as in just about any other Windows program, you move the cursor to the right and you expect the following word, Map, to be highlighted
    Nothing happens
    *sigh*

    Immensely, immensely frustrating every time this happens

    Please could you fix this in the next update.
    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
    Avoiding Manual Labour.

    Default Re: Selecting text doesn't follow Windows convention

    I just place the cursor to the left of the word, hold down Ctrl + Shift and use the right arrow key to select a word at a time. I never even knew about the method you described.
