Hello:
I found a strange problem with the new gnome terminal in SLE11 SP1.
When I double click a file name in gnome terminal such as:

my_test

It only select ‘my’ or ‘test’, and it cannot select the whole name
‘my_test’

this never happen in SLE10 or other version. could you please tell me
how to fix this?

THX

If I type my_test in GNOME Terminal and then double click it the whole
thing is selected.

Go in to Edit > Profile Preferences > General and have a look at the
“Select-by-word characters” field. Mine contains

Code:

-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~

If your list doesn’t include _ then add it.
