Description

**Steps to reproduce:**

- Run the textbox example
- Write some text.
- Double-click on a word you wrote.

The expected behavior is that the entire word is selected. Instead it just acts as a simple click.

**Version:** 0.7.0 (commit dc17683deeb909a4ef20fb3174b1e3c1480dfb82)

Research direction

Start by running the textbox example under the X11 backend and trace how pointer clicks are handled. Reproduce the reported behavior with a word in the textbox, then verify that a double-click selects the entire word rather than acting as a single click.
