Description: Universally, double-clicking a word does mark the whole word. Dragging the mouse pointer while holding the double-click will mark all full words from the originally marked word up to the word under the mouse pointer. Writer text, and even Windows Explorer or Notepad behave like this. Other LO components and Writer text boxes do break this behaviour and just don't do anything (see attached GIF). This seems to be a bigger issue that affects LO behaviour in general. Writer does behave as expected from legacy LO and other Windows software, but other LO components and text boxes in Writer behave in an unexpected way. See bugs 165880 and 165877. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type several words of text into Calc or any text box. 2. Double-click and hold the first word. 3. Drag the mouse pointer towards the right, over the following words. Actual Results: The originally double-clicked word gets marked, but not the other words. Expected Results: All full words from the originally marked word up to the word under the mouse pointer should be marked.

I tried bibisecting repos win32-5.4, win32-6.1, win64-7.6, win64-24.8, win64-25.2, but they all reproduce the bug when checking the oldest and master commit. I can't check previous repos due to a slow download speed.
