Not for me. I’m in XP and double-clicking just selects the word. I just tried. (Triple or single clicking selects nothing.)
Is there a setting for this somewhere in XP (not that I’d want to select lines like that, ugh!).
ETA: Well, on further experimentation, maybe triple-clicking selects the word too. I guess it may depend on how fast you are.
Mmm, weird - triple clicking selects and then deselects the word and does not do the whole line. Odd that **njtt **has XP with a similar thing indicating that there may be a common option somewhere. (Word does the triple click thing but notepad does not for me).
The reason I ask is that I have to copy / paste a load of license codes into various networked computers and have put together a shared text doc with the codes on different lines. The XP machines light up the entire code with a double click but the Vista ones just get the portion of code between dashes.
eg. double clicking on:
JUR0A-EGDNA-LUM0R-U7PT8-6RBUY
would only get the EGDNA or whatever so I have to use the mouse to drag across the whole line. Any further comments please?
I think you’ve just got your double-click speed for your mouse set too fast or slow for your hands. So what you think of as a triple-click is being seen by the PC as a double-click followed by a single.
Try experimenting with increasing and decreasing the double-click recognition settings.
You don’t even need to fiddle with settings, just click faster.
I’m on XP right now and I “triple clicked” a word and it highlighted it then un-highlighted it. Well, I thought I “triple clicked” it. I went click. click. click.
I tried again and went clickclickclick and the entire sentence was highlighted.
Thanks for the advice but it’s not a mouse speed thing, honest!
We are talking about Notepad right? Not Wordpad or Word where the triple click works fine.
