Description esigra 2008-03-04 19:11:17 UTC 
Version:           3.5.8 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

A multiline text edit widget interprets a double click followed by a mouse down as triple click. But for a triple click to actually have happended, the mouse button must have been released as well the third time.

This happens when a user double clicks a word and then presses the mouse to start dragging that word to some place. But then the whole line is selected.

...except that it appears to be SOP for the selection to happen on mouse down (e.g. gtk does the same; heck, so does M$).

(Besides this would be a Qt change, not a KDE change.)

For clarity, I should add that things *must* work this way, else you could not select multiple words, multiple lines, etc. (So on second blush, there's one heck of a good reason everyone does it this way.)
