Double click on word to select the word is not working correctly

Double click on word to select the word is not working correctly in some circumstances.  Sometimes it leaves a letter out of the selection which negates the speed of double clicking a word.

Yes, this bug has been recurring for several versions, long before DW was placed on minimum maintenance.
Unfortunately, to date, I haven't found or heard of any workaround, so you'll just have to live with it, or edit your code using an external editor :

 

  • Go to Edit > Preferences, (Ctrl U)
  • File type / Editors  (add a file type extension, and the adhoc editor)
  • Apply

 

 

Then from the file panel you can choose edit from the editor of your choice in the dropdown menu

 

 

So you can continue to work and manage your applications from within DW, but using a different code editor.

We ae unable to reproduce the issue internally on DW 21.4 version with the Win11 platform.
Could you please try once clearing the preferences and let us know if it works.
