I did a REALLY quick test. Click in the middle of a word and then drag
to highlight it, and the next word. The first word I clicked in didn't
highlight the whole thing until I selected the first letter of the
next word.

When I had the option unchecked, it only selected from where I started
my click-and-drag.

A double click will always select the entire word, no matter if the
option is checked or not. A triple click will always select the entire
paragraph, including lines separated by line breaks (shift-enter).
