Sorry, I forgot one piece:

-1. select a word with the mouse double click,
0. copy it with CTRL+C
1. do a text search in a file
2. keep the search dialog open
3. select one or more lines dragging the mouse with left button pressed
4. close the search dialog
5. paste the selected text by pressing the central mouse button
6. the first word (selected with CTRL+C) is pasted instead of that
selected with the mouse

Yes, it's clear to me that the $ is not selected, I'm asking why.

What I mean (and all KDE-based editors behave like that) is that the $
sign IS part of the (variable) word, and I normally want to copy that
too.

Thanks.
