Double click is not meant to select a URL (there's an option in the
right click menu for that), and adding colon to the list of word-chars
won't fix it either. E.g. if you have a URL with a trailing dot (which
strictly speaking could be a part of the URL, but usually denotes the
end of a sentence) then double click will select that, whereas
Ctrl+click or Right click -> copy URL won't consider that to be part of
the URL.

Title:
  double clicking on a URL drops the protocol from the URL

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to 15.10 beta from 15.04, when I double click on a
  URL, I lose most of the protocol, e.g. if I type
  'http://www.ubuntu.com/' into a terminal and double click, what gets
  selected (and entered into the copy buffer) is '//www.ubuntu.com'
