That's gpm's default.
15:22:09@hades| ~/temp/gpm-1.13 $grep 300 *
gpmCfg.h:#define DEF_LUT "-a-zA-Z0-9_./\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377"
15:22:12@hades| ~/temp/gpm-1.13 $
"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377" which is what you all
have, is the default with `:' and `~' added. I did this because Peter
Tobias asked me to, and it seemed reasonable. Ray wants better
handling of the -l option in gpmconfig [#9753], and I agree with him,
and it's next on my todo list for gpm.

If you really want every character to be thought of as part of a word,
nothing.
With the current LUT, if gpm were presented with the line:
| Foo, Bar. Baz [Quinn]
would select "Foo", if you double clicked on `o', "Quinn", if you
double clicked on "Q", etc.[1] If you use -l "\000-\377", a double
click (select word) would become a triple click (select line)[1].
Dale, if you're still having problems, please take a look at #16063,
and see if it's similar to that, and/or file a bug.
[1] IIRC, untested because I haven't got non-remote access to a Linux
box atm.
