Description gillesgalipeau 2015-11-30 15:27:58 UTC 
Double-clicking a word does highlight all occurrences of a word but when I click on a variable (bash), the "$" is also highlighted. This plugin "Highlight Selection" is not listed in the plugin manager

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click a variable (Example: $test_var)

Actual Results:  
The string "$test_var" is highlighted

Expected Results:  
Only the string "test_var" should be highlighted

This is seen with Kate 3.13.3 using KDE 4.13.3
Comment 2 gillesgalipeau 2015-12-02 14:32:10 UTC 
This is not a bug: This behaviour was because the "weakDeliminator" in the default bash syntax file include the "$" character.

Once I removed it, as well as many others, it worked fine.
