QGraphicsTextItem: Hyphen breaks string selection (non word character)

[MS_GX]

PySide2:

I have QGraphicsTextItem with just one long string in it.

If double-click on the string I can select it. But if I have a hyphen in the string, the selection will stop at the hypen.

So for example if I have the string ABC-DEF I can either select ABC, - or DEF, but NOT the full ABC-DEF.

I think the problem is that the hypen is not a word character. Where can I change this?

Where can I change this?

In QTextEngine::atWordSeparator() by compiling Qt by yourself. So basically - nowhere except you implement your own doubleClick behavior.

OK, thanks for your answer. How would I read the text from the QGraphicsTextItem, crop the text and only mark the cropped text?

The text can found in QGraphicsTextItem::document()
