Vscode: Editor: sometimes doubleclick into word is not fully selecting it

[bpasero]

• I have zoom enabled (2) (macOS, browser: Edge dev)
• code is:

function createSVGEllipsePolar(angle:number,radius:number,tx:number,ty:number,
                                cxo:number,cyo:number) {
    var ell = document.createElementNS(svgNS,'ellipse');
    ell.setAttribute('rx',radius.toString());
    ell.setAttribute('ry',(radius/3).toString());
    ell.setAttribute('cx',cxo.toString());
    ell.setAttribute('cy',cyo.toString());
    var dangle = angle*(180/Math.PI);
    ell.setAttribute('transform','rotate('+dangle+','+cxo+','+cyo+') translate('+tx+
                        ','+ty+')');
    return ell;
}

• I run from web
• I doubleclick somewhere into the document of (document.createElementNS) and the click does not select the entire word

The exact location for me is somewhere between e and n

I'm having this issue as well. I have not been able to identify a pattern yet. Using VSCODE on a Mac (Catalina).

Me too. This is very frustrating... :(

(Mac / Catalina)

same here, sorry for double posting, but whatever caused this glitch needs to be reverted ASAP. I thought my trackpad was dying, this is not funny anymore.

seems to be happening more frequently in the last two weeks.

This is a massive productivity killer. Totally interrupts flow.

Was following issue #85446 which has been closed as it is related to this one, still a major issue for us today. You have to slow yourself down and check that everything selected properly each time which slows productivity

@MLWDev The fix is available on the Insiders release channel. Please use that one until Stable updates.
