ugly feature in GtkText

["Michael J. Hammel" <mjhammel graphics-muse org>]

One of the things I use my XNotesPlus for is to copy graphics news
announcements when I run across them on the Net.  I seperate the
announcements with dashed lines:  -----------------
When I'm adding a new entry I double click the line to select it and then
copy it after the new entry.  With Motif/LessTif this works fine.  With the
GtkText widget, the double click looks for the firest real word prior to 
the line!  It won't let me double click to select the line.  Ick.

Is there a way to configure this behaviour?  I can select the line by
clicking and dragging from the first character of the line to the next
line, but thats not easy to do because GtkText places text right up next to
the edge of the window.  Is that also a configurable option - setting the
spacing around the border of the text window?
