Description

I wrote a test about double-clicking on Chinese text. See a summary of the result.

What would be the expectation of the average Chinese user for the case in https://github.com/w3c/glyph_character_tests/issues/30 ? If a user clicks inside 她哭了, (depending on where you click) should the browser highlights one of 她/哭/了, or 她/哭了? (The latter is the behavior of Chrome and Safari.)
