When double clicking to select by word, the results are direction dependent.

  • Left-to-Right: the resulting selection is as expected
  • Right-to-Left: the resulting selection leaves out the initially selected word

Expected

When selecting from Right-to-Left via double-click, the originally selected word be included in the resulting selection range.

Observed

When selecting from Right-to-Left via double-click, the originally selected word is not included in the resulting selection range.

Reproduced

  1. Create a note with multiple words.
  2. Double click the last word.
  3. Drag the mouse pointer to the left so that the selection range encompass earlier words.
  4. Observe that the last word is no longer selected.

The screen recording below illustrates the difference between TextEdit (expected behavior) and Simplenote (unexpected behavior).
