Bug Description

When automatic word wrapping is enabled and you select a line (triple-click or press Pos1+shift+End), gedit selects only one displayed line segment and not the complete line until the end-of-line marker.
It leaves the wrapped segments of the line unselected and unaffected by whatever action you do with the selection. You easily end up with not-working code.

Ubuntu Oneric Ocelot 11.10
