What follow occurs on WT-1.4.3243.0 with this in settings.json:

"wordDelimiters": " ()\"',:;<>!^&*|=[]{}?\u2502",
[...]
"padding": "8, 8, 8, 8",
[...]

When a long file name (or other text) is wrapped on the right margin, I cannot select it with a double click of the mouse. If I double click on the text of second line, the first is not selected. See this:

from-WT

If I click on the first line the same occurs.

I tried the same with MinTTY terminal and it works as expected:

from-mintty

Notice also the big gap on the right margin in WT image.

BTW, to take the screenshot for WT I had to use the old Capture Tool because with the new Capture and Annote the selectin goes away. This happens only with WT and not with MinTTY..

Oh well that's a real bug. Yikes.
