Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.2-1
Severity: wishlist

The documentation concerning the select-by-word feature (Section 3.4)
should be improved, as nothing is said on how the non-word characters
are handled. It should say that:
  * A sequence of non-word characters forms a word.
  * Each line ends with a newline character, regarded as a non-word
    character, but having a word boundary after it (i.e., the
    following non-word characters won't be selected).
