Double clicking on a word selects 2 words

Which OS are you using now? I'm using Mac + Chrome / Firefox, and the double-click on a word always select the word itself. I'm not quite sure how it works on Windows + Chrome / Firefox

The behavior of double-clicking on a word is OS by OS. Here are some discussions about how to select one word without the trailing space on Windows platform:

I am using Windows 10 indeed, but this is the only editor doing this. On any other editor/website/app, double clicking selects only 1 word without the trailing spaces, that is why I assume there is something weird about anafora's behavior. I checked with other computers (still on Windows) and I get the same.

Got you. One of our annotator reports the same issues. I'm thinking that this issue may be due to
the JQuery plug-in. I'll check it recently

The trailing space is the problem here. Double click selects the word plus space, then the function snapSelectionToWord() extends this to include the following word as well.
