Hi git,
Mintty has a bug - when double-clicking on text, the preceding '~' or '.' is not selected.
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/1237
This really slows down interacting in git bash because this is a very frequent console interaction:
Double-clicking to select a path (which copies it to the paste buffer since the text is highlighted), then easily paste to manipulate text.
The pasted text is omitting the preceding '~' or '.' character.
Please release a new git bash version that uses the updated mintty with the fix for this bug. The issue link above indicates that this is a bug and has been fixed.
Further, it might be nice if git bash had an update feature?
Regards,
Steven

This is fixed in mintty 3.6.5, which is part of the Git for Windows
2.43.0 release candidate announced earlier today:
