I've sent a patch to upstream for this bug. I'm attaching it here also.
This patch checks the source and destination of the drag. If both source and destination have a space near them it will try to extend the select to a space near the source to preserve the tokens (words). ** Patch added: "drag & drop word patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/638503/+attachment/2729771/+files/gedit_select.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/638503 Title: Gedit word select doesn't include space To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/638503/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
