Bug#560039: xterm: double-click on word spanning across several lines doesn't select the bottom part
Package: xterm
Version: 251-1
Severity: normal
With xterm 251 (but not with previous versions), when I double-click
on a word that spans across several lines, only the first lines until
the double-clicked line are selected.
For instance, if I type
perl -e 'print "0123456789"x60'
in a 80-column xterm and double-click on the 3rd line, then lines 1
to 3 are selected, but not the following ones.
