Double click in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal selects different text parts

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

I'm running f22 with MATE desktop and GNOME3 desktop. I'm seeing
different strategies selecting text in gnome-terminal and mate-terminal:

Suppose there is a line containing the text
"sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22" in both terminals. Double
clicking in the gnome-terminal on "sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22"
selects only "sy-2015-06-13_08" (stopping at first ":"), but in
mate-terminal the same double click will select the complete text
"sy-2015-06-13_08:21:23-4.0.5-300-F22".

I don't understand the different strategies.

Kid regards
