Double-clicking in spaces and near the trailing edges of words makes the wrong selection. Any double-click inside a word, even near the edge, should select the word, and any double-click inside a space should select the space. In WebKit, clicking in the right hand side of the last letter of a word selects the following space, and clicking in the right hand side of the space selects the following word. NSTextView behaves as expected. Implementing the correct behavior in WebKit probably requires that the coordinate-to-offset functions return a secondary offset.

I've looked into it, but this is a tricky bug to fix. We'd have to get extra information out of positionForPoint to determine to which side the point belongs, and we'd have to pass that information to setStartAndEndFromBaseAndExtentRespectingGranularity to adjust EWordSide appropriately.
