Description Markus Pielmeier 2020-07-29 13:36:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Okular is missing a couple standard text selection mouse actions.
A double click, followed by dragging the cursor should allow selecting multiple whole words.
A triple click should select a whole line.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a document and activate the text selection tool
2. Double click and drag the cursor
3. Triple click on text
 

OBSERVED RESULT
2. Only a single word gets selected. Unable to expand selection by moving mouse
3. Nothing happens on triple click


EXPECTED RESULT
2. Selection is able to be expanded word-by word
3. Whole line gets selected
