word selecting problems

hello,
i am using textpad 4.5 and it seems to select words in a very strange way.

in this example:

this.attachMovie("menu_item", menuItemName, i);

if i double-click on menuItemName, it selects the space before it as well. similarly, in this example:

function hideMenu()

double-clicking on hideMenu selects "function hideMenu"

does this seem strange to anyone? is there a syn file adjustment i can make or something?

seems to happen when the word i am double-clicking has some punctuation at the end.

thanks.

4.5.0 on w2k

Tried both cases in default and java. Neither acted as you mentioned

Have you tried this?

Configure | Preferences | Editor | check "Constrain the cursor to the text"

I also do not have "Use Microsoft's conventions for mouse click selection" selected.
