I've stumbled across something that has been driving me batty for a few months now. Once upon a time when double clicked a work with a hyphen in it it selected the hyphen as well as both the pieces of text on on both sided of it. Now, out of the blue, it only selects the part of the word I double click on and stops at the hyphen.
for example: if i double click on the word "text" in the string "text_mate"... "text" is selected. Shouldn't the whole string be selected!???
Someone help!! it's driving be batty...
Thanks

do you use different machines? like one intel-mac and an older powerPC driven model?
very speculative: maybe its a difference between the framework implementation: carbon vs. cocoa ...
carbon based apps like Adobe CS3/4 behave often totally different in user interaction (tabbing through dialog boxes, navigating through text, selecting it holding down [alt] to catch whole words or [cmd] to catch whole lines, etc)...
dunno about the code Textmate is based on on PowerPC and Intel architectures ...

I have a new Powerbook and a MacPro both with Intel chips. On the Powerbook it I don't have any problems, it'll select the "_", but not on the MacPro.

did you try a clean re-install on the "faulty" machine?
otherwise please give specs about installed OSX and TM versions.
that could help better than guessing ;-)

btw: there are no new Powerbooks, but only new MacBooks and MacBook Pro, though I understand why some people like the terms "powerbook" or "powermac" ... sounds like the utterly stronger device, but them'a NOT :-)

Have you checked the preferences. Under Preferences -> Text Editing one can select what characters are considered as part of text.

I don't think it's a system thing because it works fine in TextEdit or any other text editing app. I'm running 10.5.5 on a 2x 2.66Ghz Dual-Core Intel.
yes, it's hard to get used to not calling them Powerbooks isn't it :P

sorry for pointing you in the total wrong direction. I guess I draw these conclusions out of my very personal problems that I have with carbon apps ;-)
