      This is new behavior. It never did this before.

        Double (to select “word” at the double-click point) and triple click (to select entire line of the triple-click point) work fine for me in 8.6.5.


        The title says it all.

        And my reply says it all.

          @Daniel-Essin ,

          Since you came back and created a new Topic (which I locked) about the same thing, you apparently forgot about this one. Please don’t create duplicate Topics.

          As Alan said, “it works for me”.

          However, looking at your list of plugins, there are a few there that I’ve never heard of… and when there is strange behavior in Notepad++, especially for something as core as double-clicking a word, the first place to look is in trying to disable plugins. This FAQ gives the procedure for how to check by turning off all plugins and one-at-a-time. (Yes, I know, you aren’t crashing; but the FAQ even admits that it’s useful for other situations where the plugin might be to blame.)
