Environment

Edition	Windows 10 Home Insider Preview
Version	Dev
Installed  ‎15.‎02.‎2021
build	21313.1000

Steps to reproduce

Windows terminal allows to select a fully connected string with a single double click, which is nice.
However, this functionality stops at the line end, even if the string continues on the next line.
Reproduce:

Create a file/foldername with a long connected file name that it is longer than the currently shown line length of terminal.
For example something like this "20200110_1985_ML_Experiment01_SettingsA_SettingsB_SettingC_Lorem_ipsum_dolor_sit_amet_consectetur_adipiscing_elit_sed_do_eiusmod_tempor_incididunt"
Using a small window size is also a viable option to simulate this with shorter file names.
Show the file with e.g. ls and select the filename with a double click.
Selection will end at the end of the line

Expected behavior

The double clicking a string normally selects a full connected string.
This selection should continue, even if "word wrap" spreads the string across multiple lines.

Actual behavior

The string is only selected until the end of the line
