Description ingenstans 2003-07-21 11:12:49 UTC 
at present, triple-click selects a line of text in OOo writer. This is silly, 
because a line is an arbitrary unit in word-processed text, with no syntactic 
meaning. I know it's different when you're writing code. In most languages a 
line is a distinct unit of meaning. But that's not true in natural language.

Triple-click should either select a sentence or a paragraph. I would suggest a 
sentence.

Can be worked around with a macro. I'm putting it here for the benefit of people 
looking in IZ who would otherwise report a duplicate bug.

fixed by #20126, I think, though I will check that this really works in m_54

It works in m54, triple-click selects the sentence and clicking four times
selects the paragraph.
