Double-click-and-drag for selection by words doesn't work

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a PDF file containing text in Chrome, e.g. 
http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/accessibility/pdfs/acro6_pg_ue.pdf
2. Double-click and drag on some text in a paragraph

What is the expected output?
Text is selected by words, which is the standard behavior on Linux. 
e.g. consider the text "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing 
elit"
Then if you double-click-and-drag from the middle of "dolor" to the middle of 
"consectetur", then the selection will be "Lorem ipsum [dolor sit amet, 
consectetur] adipisicing elit".

What do you see instead?
Only the first word clicked is selected; the drag is ignored.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The versions in
Google Chrome   35.0.1916.153 (Official Build 274914)
and
Google Chrome   36.0.1985.84 (Official Build 277917) beta
on my Ubuntu workstation.

@thestig, can you take a look at this one. Seems the double-click-and-drag 
gesture is not implemented in pdfium_engine.
