That's the option I meant. It makes no difference to this weird behaviour
whether it is on or off. I'm still testing this out at the moment to see if
I can make any sense of what is happening (and I'll compare it to what
happens on my work machine).

: Interestingly, this never used to work in the English (UK) version of

double-clicking

: If you select the word and trailing spaces by dragging the mouse through
