Migrating from R2016a to R2021b, found a problem.

Variable selection by double click is used frequently.

For instance, codes below may be double clicked at Var1 at line1, and then(no pause) double clicked at Var2 at line2.

Var1=1;
Var2=Var1+1;

The expected behavior is Var1 highlighted first, then Var2 highlighted.

Works fine in R2016a, but in R2021b, Var1 highlighted first, and than the whole line2 is seleted, I think the triple click is somehow triggered.

The misselecting is so annoying. Is this a bug somehow?

Hi XGQ,

This issue has been resolved in R2022a. Would you upgrade and then try again?

Thanks.

Will there be a update for R2021b later?

My company just purchase R2021b last winter, I don't see I could upgrade to R2022a in the near future.
