It would be nice if the FileZilla Client could highlight just the subdirectory when the local/remote site address text is double-clicked. See image:
Currently double-clicking the text highlights all of the text instead of just the subdirectory:
The default behavior in Windows OS is to only highlight the words in between the slashes, and highlight the entire text if the user triple-clicks.
Current behavior:
Double-click = Highlight all
Suggested behavior:
Double-click = Highlight subdirectory
Triple-click = Highlight all
FileZilla Client feature request: Highlight subdirectory on double-click in address bar

The selection handling of the remote path box in FileZilla is done by Windows itself, so it already works correctly.
It actually more complex: Windows highlights words, which are parts of the string separated by spaces and a few other separators, e.g. backslashes. A forward slash however is not a separator Windows recognizes.The default behavior in Windows OS is to only highlight the words in between the slashes, and highlight the entire text if the user triple-clicks.
