It also happens on single click (possibly to make changing the text size easy), and you can also highlight by dragging and it’ll work, but I still like to double click to highlight.

    I often do the double click and drag to select by word like OP does, but double tapping a touch screen is a common gesture to zoom in. I would be annoyed too.

      Double tap to select a word is a thing on mobile too, works in most input fields, it annoyed me it didn’t work in jerboa app though, I use it definitely more than I’d use double tap to zoom
