Indeed, I've reverted to xterm 243-1, and I cannot reproduce the bug
with this older version.

Bug#541236: xterm: word selection selects whitespace characters too

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: xterm
Version: 244-1
Severity: normal

Under some conditions, a word selection selects whitespace characters
too. This problem seems to be new.

To reproduce the problem, I've attached a file. As said in this file:

1. Open this file in a 80x60 xterm terminal.
2. Do a Page Down.
3. Double-click on a "aa...aa" (but not one of the first five).
   -> The previous "bb...bb" gets selected too.
4. Resize the xterm window to 80x58. -> The window disappear!

(Step 4 seems to be actually bug 541160: xterm segfaults.)
