How do I 'un-enable' this feature? (double-click selecting)

Hello all,

For some reason, when editing only certain types of files (so likely Document Class related) when I double click, I get undesired results...

e.g. in JavaScript files (*.js)

If I have the following text:

Code: Select all

function something(){
  //code goes here
}
If I double click somewhere in the work 'something' I expect the word 'something' to highlight... however, I end up with '

Code: Select all

_something
' (whitespace before), or '

Code: Select all

function something
' (everything up to the start of the line)...

Its driving me nuts, but I can't seem to find the 'feature' that I enabled, so that I can turn it off. :-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Bonzo

Configure
Preferences
Document Classes
Name of the Document Class with the problem

On right hand side, check or uncheck "Include trailing spaces when selecting words" to your liking...

Unfortunately, thats not it... I've never had this setting turned on for any document class...
