I am not sure why the different behaviors but I'd guess it has
something to do with the particular X server on each box.
But as a work around you could get the "file.dat.and.some.more"
highlighted if you:
first: double cliek on 'file'
second: as you do the above keep the mouse button depressed
and continue dragging over the rest of the file name.
You'll notice that i'll highlight each 'chunk' of the file.name.part.
Personally I like this behavior since it allows me to easily
rename a file using copy/paste over an xterm.
Hope this helps,
Patrick ...
