Hello,

This is a question to those using OS 10.6 and Japanese. My new iMac  
arrived, and I spent several days to set it up to make a usable  
environment. Now, I think I have almost arrived at my aim.

I have several questions. Here is one which intrigued me very much: in  
System Preferences > Language & Text > Text > Word Break, I selected  
"Japanese". In previous OSs, this made a change in the behaviour of  
text engine, when we select a "word" by double-clicking in Japanese  
text: this used to select a chunk of Hiraganas, or Katakanas, or  
Kanjis, etc. -- but I noticed that on my new iMac, double-clicking a  
Japanese text selects only one character at once (although when using  
Shift + Option + Arrow key, this selects what is expected [a chunk of  
Hiraganas, or Katakanas, or Kanjis, etc.]).

Is this normal? How can we change this behaviour?

Thank you in advance for any answer.

Best regard,
