Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Since upgrading my Karmic 64-bit installation to Lucid, double clicking
to select a word is no longer working in Evolution. All that happens is
that the cursor moves to the end of the word. Double clicking, holding
the mouse button and then dragging starts a character-boundary
selection, not a word-boundary one.
I don't think this is a duplicate of bug #459719, because it occurs in
the Plain Text editor as well, and the text is not really selected (or
at least not properly).
Double clicking on a word and then typing will erase the word, but
double clicking and then pressing Ctrl+C does not copy it to the
clipboard, so it seems to be somewhat selected, but not properly.
Also, while double clicking on a word does move the cursor to the end of
the word, then pressing Ctrl+Shift+Left does not selected the word,
whereas normally when the cursor is at the end of a word that key press
will select it.
