scan breaks selection on apostrophe #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. enable scanning
2. select a word containing an apostrophe

The string submitted for lookup should be the entire word selected, e.g. 
t'eboninzun. Instead, the string begins immediately after the first apostrophe, 
e.g. eboninzun. This is a problem in languages in which apostrophe is a regular 
letter. I can't find any configuration option that controls this.

The problem is observed in stardict (and GoldenDict) under GNU-Linux    Ubuntu 
14.04.1 LTS.

You need to move mouse to select it. Double click will only select a portion of 
it.
StarDict just read the selection, and the selection is not decided by stardict, 
but the application widget, such as gtk or qt.

This is not a bug!

It still seems to be a bug in that apostrophe inappropriately breaks words, but 
I take your point that the problem is not in stardict itself. Thanks.
