Linux Mint 20.1 / Calibre 5.35.

Take a phrase like will-power. If you double click on one half of the word, only that half is selected; the hyphen acts as a selection break.

However there is a problem in the Calibre editor if you use an Em dash in a sentence (with no spaces on either side), as is often the case in parentheses. Double-click on a word before or after the em dash, and both words, and the interconnecting em dash, are selected.

This is a bug.
