Select text with dash in double click PhpStorm

With double click in PhpStorm the entire word is selected. But if there is a dash in the text like full-text double clicking on it will only select full, not the text.

Is there any setting to select full-text in double click?

AFAIK it may depend on context (what language it is currently injected there). What's your context? - LazyOne
For CSS there is a special setting in Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Smart Keys to have it selected in one go. Otherwise it requires more clicks/different approach. - LazyOne
It is PHP. Also same issue in Rubymine - chanchal118
What do you mean by "PHP"? Does PHP (language) allows naming classes/variables with dash in their name? I do not think so. if you are talking about plain text (e.g. words in a string) then I'm not aware of such IDE setting. - LazyOne
IDE version? It seems to work OK in PhpStorm 2017.2.1 EAP build. Does not work like that in 2017.1.4 thuogh. - LazyOne

As a workaround, double click to select one of the words and then press ctrl + w.
