However, if you read the mouse-over comment, it says 'Characters which are considered part of a word when double-clicking to select whole words in the terminal' So in the posters example the result is correct. Unfortunately this patch made it into KDE 4.2.1 before I realized my mistake. 725383 6 vapier 2009-03-05 07:36:49 +0000 indeed, the behavior was correct. kde-4.x made this situation confusing because it changed the label. in kde-3, the label was explicit (if verbose): "Consider the following characters part of a word when double clicking" other terminals typically define the optional chars as things that *break up* the word, not *join* them. so simply describing it as "word characters" is too ambiguous. perhaps adding "join" in there would be better ? "word join characters" ? 732896 7 sibskull 2009-03-20 09:31:38 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 186048 ***
