See bug 1208869 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727743 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730632 URL detection (underlining on mouseover, context menu, ctrl+click) has nothing to do with the word boundary (double click) behavior, these are two unrelated parts of the code. The colon character is not part of the default set of wordchars, see those discussions for rationale. It's unfortunate for URLs, but adds much more to usability elsewhere. And you can configure it for yourself. The tl;dr on how to fix this:
Get id of default profile:
pid=$(dconf read /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/default | tr -d "'")
Remove the boundary property of some additional characters:
dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:$pid/word-char-exceptions '@ms "-=&#:/.?@+~_%;"'
Where the `@ms` denotes the maybe-string gvariant type.
With that a double-click should select URLs like:
http://foo-bar.example.org/query.html#xyz?key1=value1&key2=value2
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Still happening with f24 Still happening with fc25 It's not a bug. It's a faulty expectation from the users. See my previous comment, follow the links from there, and see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1501250 for a more verbose explanation. This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
