Double-click to select word

Don't know if anyone else is struggling with this, but I just wanted to make a post about adding in the feature of double-clicking to select a word on Workflowy. Right now, when I double-click on a word in Workflowy, the word is only partially selected. This makes it difficult to bold/highlight/underline/etc words on the site.

Example: When I double-click on the word 'Watch', only the letters W, a, and t are selected.

This is a feature that is available almost everywhere else, so it would be really great if we could have it on Workflowy, too. Thanks!

  Hi there,

  This is the first time I've seen this behavior. Double clicking should in fact highlight the whole word. Would you try disabling all of your browser extensions (if you're using the browser app)?

  Hello Frank, thanks for your response. I'm using Workflowy's browser app. I didn't disable my browser extensions, but the problem has suddenly gone away now. What so you think happened there?

  We certainly did nothing to fix an issue which was only reported by yourself... so it's not possible to say 😬

  This seems to be a bug or a setting in the OP browser. It is working alright for me, and it always did.
