Auto selecting of a word is only designed to work when the cursor is actually in a word not after a word. Your last case the cursor is after the word and nothing is autoselected. That is how it was designed to work. Highlighting a word and then selecting the format is the normal way this is handled. The auto selection of a word *under* the cursor is Qt not us.
The key is that for a word to be under the cursor the cursor must be in one of the positions indicated by the '|' below, not after the word (one spot for each letter).

So to me it appears to work as expected. What am I missing?

Back to the recent changes. It's nice, but on December 18th I noticed that adding tags around a word works ALMOST always well: - at the beginning of the word: OK
- in the middle of the word: OK
- at the end of a word: OK except for one case - immediately after this word there is an opening or closing tag
I am attaching an animated GIF that shows these cases.
And here is the test line of text (I marked in red the places where surrounding by html tag does not work).
Code:

Perhaps applying a similar solution you have been using recently here would help. |
