Comment #4 on issue 183 by kingofcamelot: marking and overwriting URLs in the address bar http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=183
I looked into this problem, and I've figured out what the problem is, and how to fix it, although the fix will change the current address bar behavior. The current code uses a custom word break function so that 'http://' is handled as one word. This all works fine, but this custom function is what is breaking the address bar double clicking. When you have a custom word break function, it appears that RichEdit's EM_EXGETSEL uses WB_MOVEWORDLEFT to find the left bound of the word, and WB_MOVEWORDRIGHT to find the right bound. However, WB_MOVEWORDRIGHT is supposed to return the start of the next word, which it does in the custom word break function. The problem appears to be that the standard WB_MOVEWORDRIGHT considers blocks of punctuation, and just single punctuations, as words, which the custom word break function does not. So, the simple solution is to change the custom function to treat punctuations as words, however, this will mean that double clicking the '.' in a web address will select just the dot, same with slashes, etc. The other solution would be to change the double click code for the address bar to manually run the selection code, instead of using EM_EXGETSEL. We would run WB_MOVEWORDLEFT and WB_RIGHTBREAK, then send the results to EM_EXSETSEL. Any thoughts on which would be a better method of fixing the issue? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
