Since the recent update if I double click a word to copy it ends up selecting special characters as well. For example if I double click "devolutions" in devloutions:The it selects devloutions:The instead of just devolutions. It used to not do it.
Thank you,

Version: 2026.1.20.0 64-bit (PreJIT)
And this is on SSH connection.
Hi vinoth,
Thanks for the report. The behavior you're describing is controlled by the Double-click delimiters setting on the SSH session entry. It tells the terminal which characters should "break" a word when you double-click to select. If : (and other punctuation like /, ., -, etc.) isn't in that list, then devolutions:The will be treated as a single word.
SSH terminal entry, Double-click delimiters
You can adjust it here:
Edit the SSH entry, go to the Terminal tab, then the Configuration sub-tab, and update Double-click delimiters.
Add the characters you want to act as word breaks (for your example, make sure : is included; most users also want things like / \ . , ; ( ) [ ] { } < > " ' @ =). Reconnect the session, and the double-click selection should stop at those characters again.
If you'd like the change applied to all your SSH entries at once, you can also set the default under File > Settings > Types > Session > Terminal so that new entries inherit it automatically. Existing entries that already have a custom value will keep their custom value.
If, after adjusting the delimiters, you still see the old behavior on 2026.1.20.0, please let us know, and we'll investigate.
Best regards,
Eduard Sepulveda Lopez
