Unable to tag portions of a string #49

Looking to tag portions of a string.

AAABBBCCCDDDEEE.FFFFFF.GGGGGGGG

You cannot tag AAA, BBB, CCC, DDD, EEE, FFFFFF, or GGGGGGG. It will select the entire "word" automatically. An override to allow for fragmented tagging would be helpful.

It is the intended behaviour. The software is created with the intention to tag the tokens - Tokens are individual "words". To make it easier to do that, selecting a single letter allows selecting the token. The effort required to do precise selection is way more than effort required to do rough selection. So, this won't be implemented. Sorry.
