Gedit Document inherits from GtkSourceView, and it from GtkTextView.
GtkTextView captures the the double click, and calls
gtk_text_select_word
...
case GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS:
gtk_text_select_word (text, event->time);
...
gtk_text_select_word (GtkText *text, guint32 time)
{
...
gtk_text_move_backward_word (text);
start_pos = text->cursor_mark.index;
gtk_text_move_forward_word (text);
end_pos = text->cursor_mark.index;
...
}
Both gtk_text_move_forward_word and gtk_text_move_backward_word
shortsighted.
Since this is mostly code issue, I think GtkSourceView should capture
the GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS and call it's own gtk_source_view_select_word.
That method should walk forwards and backwards using a wider test word
characters (or the opposite) I'm out of my depth, here. I would be
inclined to test with g_unicode_isalnum | - | _. The opposite would be
g_unicode_is_punct | g_unicode_is_space.
