Please fix double-click to select passwords in note fields

@ag–tommy

Thanks! I’ve figured out one easily reproducible issue that’s causing a lot of my additional frustration, beyond the inability to just double-click a password stored in a 1Password Note item to select the whole thing, special characters included. To reproduce:

1. In a 1Password Note item, enter “word double.word word”.
2. Double-click on “double”. Given that “.” is (inappropriately) recognized as a word break, “double” is selected.
3. Hold Shift, and click at the right edge of the “d” at the end of the string “double.word”. (Place the caret cursor close to the vertical line that is the rightmost part of the “d” glyph.)

Expected behavior:
By standard text-selection convention, this should select the entire string “double.word”.

Observed behavior:
The space after the string is selected as well, i. e., the text “double.word ” is selected. You have to click far to the left of the right edge of the “d” to avoid selecting the following space character.

This is always incorrect behavior (on the Mac at least) under any circumstances, and is completely unacceptable, if I may say so. Here, it is particularly problematic, as whitespace is almost never part of a password, and in fact the behavior I’m expecting to begin with is that whitespace should be the only delimiter recognized as a word break when double-clicking text inside a 1Password Note.

BTW there is further nonstandard behavior. Shift-clicking anywhere else inside of “word” will select the entire string “double.word” without the trailing whitespace. (Standard Mac behavior is to extend the selection by characters, not by words.) This would actually help to work around the particular issue at hand, but we are not going to learn text UI that violates standard Mac conventions here, and that has become muscle memory after decades, just to work around a bug in 1Password. ;)
