SUMMARY
***
Sometimes I need to select several words for deletion or copying with the mouse so I double click a word and move the cursor to the previous/next word to expand the selection.
When trying to perform this task with words in English it's working, when trying with Hebrew then only the word I selected first when double clicking is selected and moving the cursor doesn't change that.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Write some words in Hebrew in the editor (שלום לכולם, אני טקסט לבדיקה)
2. Double click one of the words
3. Hold the mouse button and move sideways to expand the selection

OBSERVED RESULT
This word remains the only one selected.

EXPECTED RESULT
The selection would expand to the rest of the words as expected.
