      Before version 7.3.3
      Double-clicking a word wold select that word. The selection would stop at space, tab, punctuation, or end-of-line.

      After upgrading to 7.3.3
      Double-clicking a word selects that word, but the selection continues, and includes spaces, tabs, and other words adjacent to the click on that line.
      The selection only stops at punctuation or end-of-line.

      Please restore the “Before” behaviour.

      Thanks!

          Debug Info

          Notepad++ v7.3.3 (32-bit)
          Build time : Mar 8 2017 - 03:37:37
          Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
          Admin mode : OFF

          I have a line in my text file like

          I double-click the word Barcode, and " Print Barcode " is selected.
          Everything between the square brackets, including the spaces.

          Thanks in advance

            RESOLVED:
            The original (problematic) install of 7.3.3 was done by the auto-updater process.

            I downloaded a fresh copy of 7.7.3 from the website and installed it myself, right over the existing 7.3.3.
            The double-click-on-a-word problem has resolved.

            Debug info for most recent install (below) is identical to what was posted above.

            Notepad++ v7.3.3 (32-bit)
            Build time : Mar 8 2017 - 03:37:37
            Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
            Admin mode : OFF
            Local Conf mode : OFF
            OS : Windows 10 (64-bit)
            Plugins : mimeTools.dll NppConverter.dll NppExport.dll NppFTP.dll PluginManager.dll

            Keep up the good work!

              I had the same problem. When manually installing, I chose 64-bit installer. It offered to uninstall 32-bit version of Notepad++ (I forgot I had 32-bit version), saying custom config files will be kept. That turned out to be true - my open files were reopened after installation.

              Kudos to the authors!

                I also noticed today that when I double click no first word of a line, it is ALSO selecting \r\n of previous line immediately before that word.

                That gives problem when pasting that selected-copied word to some other software, because the additional step added to remove that crlf.

                  I just got a new computer (Windows 10) and installed Notepad++ 7.3.3 (32-bit) and I’m having the same problem where it selects a bunch of spaces next to the word in addition to the word when double-clicking. I never had this issue on the version of Notepad++ on my previous computer (Windows 7). I will try reinstalling to see if that helps.

                    Wow, I didn’t expect it to work but it actually did! I reinstalled with the exact same installer executable and it now works properly. Hopefully you guys can figure out the issue, but I’m glad to have it working again!

                      Warning: due to selecting 64-bit version of the installer during reinstall, I had to redo OS file associations.
