Good news!
It works: I have added this 'word selection' function right into maxgui's textarea (win32 only).
I have tested it with MaxIDE CE and with the good old MaxIDE 1.26, both works perfectly.
I'll post the code up if anyone's interested.
Note: although this modification would also work correctly when catching double-click event, intercepting this message results in an unwanted side-effect: triple-click wouldn't select the current line anymore. So I've only set the code to perform word selection on Left Mouse Button Up and holding down CTRL key.
About portability: since the TextArea gadget word selection is already incoherent between Windows and Mac, this fix is only for Windows, where the problem was worst. On Mac, the word selection is also bad but differently. I can't check the linux version but I'll bet it's different too.
