Double click a word and hold to select it

Is this normal on desktop platforms? I think it should only happen on mobile platforms.

What you mean is, when double click on a word, and don't release, then you start dragging, if you clicked halfway on the word, the selection jumps from the whole word when dragging, to the position of the cursor where drag was initiated.

On desktop, what should happen:

You double click halfway on a word, and hold the click
You drag the mouse to start selecting words
Whole words are now selected, and the whole word at the beginning is also selected.

Something like this.
