Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.836]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Version: 1.0.1401.0
"wordDelimiters":" \\()\"',;<>!@#%^&*|[]{}│",

Steps to reproduce

  1. Double click a long path or URL (the path was printed to console without any newlines inside the path)
  2. If the path is displayed on a single line in Windows Terminal, then the whole path is selected
  3. If the path wraps across to the next line, then only the part of the path on a single line in the window is selected

This can be easily reproduced by double clicking the same long path before and after resizing the window.

Expected behavior

Double click selection should work across a wrapped line and should work the same regardless of window width and line wrap position.

Thanks for making Windows Terminal, it's really good!
