Double clicking in a Text and word boundaries on linux [message #448645]

We have an SWT application that at some point presents a Text, that's
contained within a Form. If the text has the following string: "input1",
double clicking on the 'n' for example, on windows will always select
the entire "input1" string. On linux, we observe only "input" to be
selected. "input1" can be selected if you double clicking between the
't' and the '1'. The '1' alone gets selected if double clicking over it.

Is this normal?

Thank you,
Eddie

StyledText is using Character.isLetterOrDigit to determine which characters
to include in the word. It correctly includes the "1" when double clicking
anywhere in "input1". However, this behaviour is overriden by the JFace
TextViewer and implementors of ITextViewer. What is the exact class that
you are using?

swt.widgets.Text ! (Eclipse 3.0.1)

Put another way, the exact same app, run on windows and linux behaves
differently (I just did it again). I double click a word inside a Text
(inside a form, inside a view), "InputStream1" double clicking around
the t. On linux, the 1 is not highlighted. On windows, the entire word is.

Linux is running KDE 3.3.0-5 Red Hat (This is Fedora Core 3)

Thanks,
- Eddie
