Environment

Windows version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.778]
Windows terminal version: 0.11.1333.0

Steps to reproduce

This is my settings.json:

"defaults":
{
"colorScheme": "Dracula",
"wordDelimiters": " :;",
"cursorShape": "vintage"
}

My goal was to only stop the double click selection at space, comma and semiciolon.

Actual behavior

When I double click any part of the path string below ("path", "to", "foo", etc.) only that word will be selected:

lorem /path/to/foo/bar/baz/whatever ipsum

Triple click selects the whole line as expected.

Expected behavior

Only select the space delimited string ("/path/to/foo/bar/baz/whatever") instead of some part of it.
