    Hi,

    I've noticed in QT Creator 2.3(beta & RC) that mouse word selection (i.e. double-click, drag to select by words) is not working anymore in the editor. Now, the selection extension do not work past the word selected by the first double-click. Dragging the selection produces no effect.
    I tried on 2 different machines.

    It was working on 2.2.1 and all previous versions.

    Does anyone else have the same issue? Is it a config hidden somewhere?

        I already did: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-5787

        As an afterthought, I was just wondering if someone else had the same issue...

        [EDIT: fixed link, Volker]

            It actually seems to be a Qt bug. The new bug ID is "QTBUG-20925":https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-20925
