Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)

> [on Linux+Firefox] If I double- or triple-click-and-hold, I can drag the mouse to expand the selection word-wise or line-wise, not just character-wise. This works with the paragraphs of text in the body of this blog post, too.

Thank you and submitter, incredibly useful to learn this.

I don't understand why if I double click 'word' in such a sentence it will select the empty space aswell instead of only the word:

"a word blue"

This is why most of the times I'll precisely select character-per-character to make sure no weird spaces are coming in aswell - a deeply engraved habit at this point.
