textbox controls double clicking word highlights unnece

An age-old annoyance in every version of Windows:
WHY does double-clicking on a word in any textbox or similar control also highlight the trailing space?? (or any other non alphanumeric character)
Does anyone ever need that extra unwanted character selected when they want to quickly copy or edit a word??? ugh
quick-highlighting should NOT select any characters that are not part of the word you double-click on.

Totally agree - submitted as bug :o)

Thanks, although we're sure MS will file it away as a feature
