Selecting whole words at a time with the mouse

I'm just getting to know Studio. There's one thing I can't find out how to do - and indeed I don't know if Studio can do it anyway...

In Word and Wordfast Pro (and even in this forum!), I can double-click on a word to select it and then drag the mouse to continue adding whole words at a time to the selection. I find that really quick and useful if I want to perform a concordance search on a short expression from the source segment.

In Studio, the first part (i.e. double-click to select a word) works, but I cannot extend the selection beyond that first word. The only options seem to be (i) to position the mouse pointer at the start of the first word and drag one character at a time to complete the selection, or (ii) click to place the caret to the left of the first word and then use Ctrl+Shift+arrow to extend the selection one word at a time. Both are slower and require more precision.

Is there a tweak somewhere that will produce the same behaviour as in Word?
