Is there a way to not select whitespace after a word when double-clicking?
Problem
In Windows, it seems the default behavior when double-clicking a word is to select the word, and any whitespace following the word (spaces or tabs). You can see this behavior across all programs, so I'm assuming this isn't a per-program setting. This may be common to other operating systems, but I don't know from personal experience. Is this something that can be configured in the OS anywhere or is it something I just have to live with?

Fix for: Is there a way to not select whitespace after a word when double-clicking?
I double click on the word, but hold the second click and drag it slightly. For some reason selecting multiple whole words (double-click and drag) doesn't select the whitespace afterwards, so you can double-click and drag just the one word.
