All [major] browsers have been doing that since forever. Although I agree, it's weird and inconvenient especially for passwords.

why not to give a short-cut to toggle this? e.g. double-click to perform a default behavior while ctrl+double-click to only make the word to be high-lighted

Interesting. This appears to be Windows-specific (Chrome on Linux and Mac don't do that), but is indeed consistent with selection behavior elsewhere in Windows (eg. in the native OS UI). Some explanation here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6382c1cc-2a91-42bb-ab05-1fc6f7becef6/double-click-to-select-word-without-trailing-spaces?forum=outlook Chrome doesn't add detailed settings for this sort of thing, we follow the OS conventions (sorry). If, however, Microsoft could be convinced to add an OS-level setting then I'm sure we'd want Chrome to honor that. So I suggest you submit your feedback to Microsoft. |
