Word break not detecting properly in the case of one specific...

Author	When double-clicking a name to select it in the properties window, an accented capital vowel beginning the next word is also selected

I am working on the ancestry of my Icelandic grandmother and so I'm dealing with a variety of variant characters that didn't come up in previous work (although my other grandmother is Norwegian/Swedish, so there will be more). I was in the properties of one Þóra Öskarsdóttir to copy the first name and when I double-clicked to select the name, the Ö following was also selected. I repeated the selection several more times in other individuals with similar last names, and got the same result every time the first letter was an accented vowel (although I didn't test lower-case, as everything with accents are names and so the first letter is always capitalized, at least in what I'm working with). I then tested the entire range of accented capital vowels in an individual's comments field, and the error was reproduced every time. I repeated the test in Notepad, WordPad, and OpenOffice Writer, and behaviour was as expected; the space was recognized as the delimiter of the selection. Hopefully others can reproduce this behaviour and confirm. GenoPro: Best. Genealogy. Software. Ever.
