Description Chris Jordan CLA 2019-12-22 10:25:46 EST 
This form says "Enter bug" and some might not call this a bug, but I can find no better option on Help Contribute to report this apparent design defect.

Despite Product and Version above, this product is Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: 2018-12 (4.10.0)

Steps:

1) On C source line

 pig=vec3(.15,.15,.15)*2;

double-click centre of * https://i.imgur.com/BQb8w6S.png

Expected: * selected. I'm assuming (given lack of documentation) this from experience of the same operation in Windows standard controls and every Windows app I have tried.

Observed: I get a selection .15,.15,.15 - ending two chars away from the target point.

Note: This is not a duplicate of any other bug report made by me.

Whoops, sorry. A double-post. So ironically "This is not a duplicate of any other bug report made by me." is a itself a duplicate :)

And I have no idea how. Certainly I did not enter the body text twice.
