[Bug 920014] [NEW] gedit line select doesn't consider automatic word wrapping

 

Public bug reported:

When automatic word wrapping is enabled and you select a line (triple-click or press Pos1+shift+End), gedit selects only one displayed line segment and not the complete line until the end-of-line marker. 
It leaves the wrapped segments of the line unselected and unaffected by whatever action you do with the selection. You easily end up with not-working code.

Ubuntu Oneric Ocelot 11.10
gedit - Version 3.2.3
