Interesting - same thing happens in Wordpad - must be a feature of rtf
Notepad & Notepad++ are OK

Re: BUG: Unable to select word with apostrophe at the end...
Interestingly, one reported instance of this within a richtext control suggested that if you double-click the word fast enough, it will work - and, strangely, that's true. It selects the white-space following the apostrophe and the apostrophe itself first, but indeed, if you double-click like a madman, that selection will double-back and include the word itself. Treble-clicking gets you the line itself, but that's a different matter.
So - um - (and this wins a prize for strangest suggestion) just double-click faster.

not faster--it's actually double click drag. it's a workaround for now.Kilmatead wrote:Interestingly, one reported instance of this within a richtext control suggested that if you double-click the word fast enough, it will work - and, strangely, that's true.
