Description Martin Javorek CLA 2003-12-15 05:32:17 EST 
When doubleclicking in Java editor on word like "blah_blah", whole "blah_blah" 
is selected. When do the same action in Console view, only "blah" is selected - 
the underscore is in this view understanded as word separator, and it's not 
maybe the good idea.

This little bug appears in version 3.0 too, but I haven't confirmed it exactly.

Sorry for mistake: understood ;-)
Comment 2 Dani Megert CLA 2004-01-07 13:17:01 EST 
The console is not Java language specific and hence cannot know the same as the
Java editor does.

Moving to Debug for final comment.

We might be able to have a pluggable selection policy based on the type of 
process being viewed in the console. However, this will not occurr in 3.0 - 
Deferred.

Would require a pluggable source viewer configuration per console content type. Marking as enhancement. Currently we have no plans to fix this.
Comment 5 Darin Wright CLA 2007-06-19 15:32:07 EDT 
Marking as won't fix. Would consider contributions.
