I'm not 100% sure this is a pango problem, but I think it is at the heart of it.
Using gedit, if a variable has an underscore, a double click to select that variable stops at the underscore. E.g.
int foo_bar;
If you double click in foo, only foo is selected. It would be most helpful if the whole variable was selected, as it is with other text editors I've used.
To use the underscore for variable names is pretty common, and I think much nicer than humpy text (FooBar).

What would be really nice is;
1. single click positions the cursor.
2. double click text select delimited by an underscore or white space.
3. triple click text select delimited by white space.
4. quadruple click text select delimited by '\n'.
