Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

According to the the Gnome Terminal documentation at
http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/gnome-terminal-
prefs.html.en

Select-by-word characters
Use this text box to specify characters or groups of characters that GNOME 
Terminal considers to be words when you select text by word.

I currently have the default Select-by-word characters:
-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_...@~

Before upgrade to 9.04, I could select the text before or after the a
Select-by-word character, now it will select the entire "word", before
and after the symbol, including the symbol.

Example:

words.before...@words.after.at

On 8.10:
Action, double click the word "before" would select "words.before.at"
Action, double click the word "after" would select "words.after.at"

On 9.04:
Action, double click the word "before" selects "words.before...@words.after.at"
Action, double click the word "after" selects "words.before...@words.after.at"
