Description
I always loved the text selection with QTCreator: what I select with the mouse is selected, a doubleclick to a name like a variable selected in 99,999% of all cases exactly that - even in names with underscores.
The new behaviour is different:
think it started with current 4.13.3 , when selecting eg. "variable_name" in a text like "(&variable_name)" it now selelects sometimes "&variable_name".
In case it includes the '&' in the selection (have not recognized a rule which triggers the behaviour, but's its like 50:50), it does so with the doubleclick, with mouse selection from left to right and also via versa... as soon you select the last char of "variable_name", the '&' also gets selected.
At least it would be favourable to have a config switch to turn on the old (sane) behaviour, in case this new behaviour is not a bug but by intend...
