Hello,
I tried to launch xterm under Mate desktop manager, and I do not
encounter the problems you mentionned:
Even with a small font size (courier 10), I can select the first
character of a line without any problem.
I also tried to define font size to courier 34 to see how are character
selected: whereever position in the character the pointer is clicked,
the character is selected, even in extrem right of the character.

Hi Carsten, thanks for your reply, if you have some more cycles for me :)
just curious I am using mate and xterm most of the time, so where should I
look mate or xterm?
Xterm I think will be doing its own handling of selections as it is
implementing a terminal emulator which is a very specific kind of text display
- so ... xterm code itself.
Having implemented a terminal emulator (terminology) and whole UI toolkit too
myself... I know how this is done and selections will select an entire text
char if the pointer enters that char at all - so pointer is anywhere over the
char and then it's selected. That's what I implemented as it's logical and
consistent. I have never looked at what xterm has done.
