Bug Description
When double-clicking on text to highlight it, Terminal decides where the "word" ends and thus the extent of the selected text.
I'd like to propose that it consider colons (':') as word breaks. For example, it's not uncommon for me to use "grep text *" and then highlight a resulting filename. With the current behavior, the filename is not accurately highlighted with a double-click (it includes the colon and/or more text on right of colon).
My gnome-terminal instance does this correctly. I don't *believe* I configured it that way especially. But maybe I did?
The one problem with breaking on colons is that text like http://
Interesting thought. Other Linux terminals I tested do not behave like gnome-terminal in that regard.
