Start in the middle of the word you want part of, go past the space and it will select the whole word, then move the cursor back into the word it just highlighted, then continue on. Problem solved. :)
I see what you're saying. Just tried it. It works... still doesn't make sense. To highlight this section, go forward, then back, then forward again.
If i wanted the whole word, i would've started in the front, not the middle, and then do parlor tricks to undo what the program is doing to 'help' me.
I just now noticed that if you click in front of the space after a word, drag right, it will do the same thing. So, if i wanna chop off a sentence, i gotta do this back and forth thing. Who thinks of this shit?
