I suppose that you mean selecting words by double-clicking?

I opened gnome-terminal (2.14.2) on ubuntu/dapper, and entered some
japanese, so the terminal looks like this:

evan@example.com:~ $ これは日本語です。

when I double-click on 日本語, it selects everything from "~" (included)
to the end of the line.  So it doesn't work as expected.

(If I do the same with english words, only one word is selected at a
time, which is the expected behavior).
