URL detection (underlining on mouseover, context menu, ctrl+click) has nothing to do with the word boundary (double click) behavior, these are two unrelated parts of the code. The colon character is not part of the default set of wordchars, see those discussions for rationale. It's unfortunate for URLs, but adds much more to usability elsewhere. And you can configure it for yourself.
