            Bug ID: 127183
           Summary: UI: Selection of words by double click and mouse move
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: info at scito.ch

Calc does not support selecting several words in a cell by double clicking a
word and then moving the mouse to select other words. This behavior is
supported by Writer and many other editors. Calc should support word selection
as well.

How to reproduce?

1. Paste "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit" in a cell.
2. Go into edit mode of this cell, e.g. by double click -> Cursor is blinking
in the cell
3. Double click the word "ipsum" -> the word "ipsum" is selected
4. Move the cursor over "dolor"
-> "ipsum dolor" is not selected, only "ipsum" is selected
5. Move the cursor over "sit"
-> "ipsum dolor sit" is not selected, only "ipsum" is selected

Actual:
Only one word is selected

Expected:
Several words are selected


Comparison in Writer (expected behavior)

1. Paste "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisici elit" in a Writer
document.
2. Double click the word "ipsum" -> the word "ipsum" is selected
4. Move the cursor over "dolor" -> "ipsum dolor" is selected
5. Move the cursor over "sit" -> "ipsum dolor sit" is selected
