I wish there was a way to tell my whole computer, once and forever, "do NOT ever select the whole word automatically when I am editing". When I am moving the mouse to select something, I would like to select the part I indicate, thank you, not random other things too.

Whoever invented that option and made it the default in many programs has a special circle of hell waiting, I think.

I didn't realize that it was something Microsoft had deliberately set up until I read this post and your comment. I always thought the same thing you did - that it was just my poor fine motor control causing me to move the mouse further than I intended. Argh.

(And count me as another who hates the auto-capitalize. Sometimes a period is just meant to indicate an abbreviation or initials, not the end of a sentence...)
