If you double-click to select a word, you're supposed to be able to hold and drag to increase the selection or use the right mouse button to do that if you let go of the left button. This broke in 364. I emailed the developer, and he said he put out 365 to fix this issue. Gentoo should add 365 and remove or mask 364. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. double-click on a word to select it. 2. right-click elsewhere to expand the selected area Actual Results: The right click does nothing Expected Results: The area selected is expanded to include the location of the right-click
May be good to wait a bit longer next time, odds are it'd have been bumped soon either way. But good to know about the issue.
The changelog explains the issue (which was only detailed in email): https://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_365 amend fix for “word” selection in patch #364 to limit that to the insert-selectable action, which reads data from the screen. This restores the interactive behavior where double-clicking on a “word” would make subsequent selection extensions by words as well as suppressing some boundary-checks (report by David Wolfskill, FreeBSD #253225).
