IO-Box double click selection problem

Hi Guys,
since a couple of preview versions I’m struggling with the double click behavior in the IO-Box, not only in the field but also in the label.

Basically I’m not able to select the whole field ussing double click, it only works once when I enter in field selection mode for the first time, but after that it doesn’t work.

Also the Label doesn’t show any feedback when it’s selected.

Hard to explain & easy to see.

Also the double click sometimes fails and enters in drag selection mode if the mouse is moving

This also happens on any Text field (node names for example)

@Elias The IO-Box label not giving any feedback still persists in 7.1-0090

For me the most infuriating thing around this is that if you double-click to select something in an IOBox, Frame, etc. and then press left, it doesn’t jump to before the first selected character, but just goes to the left once. Its so natural that it works like that EVERYWHERE you have text selection, except in vvvv.
