when using javascript console - it fails to highlight entire word if it contains underscores. Here is some sample text as it appears in console : 

   ERROR - ReferenceError: curr_msg_stream is not defined

if I double clicked on msg which appears in middle of word : curr_msg_stream it fails to highlight entire word ... it will only highlight msg .... google chrome behaves correctly on this
