Triple clicking text /sometimes/ selects pills in preference to paragraph

[michaelkaye]

Description

Triple clicking a message containing a leading pill selects the pill rather than the entire paragraph containing the pill.

Steps to reproduce

• Send a message, for instance @michaelkaye how are you?, where @michaelkaye is a pill
• Triple click "are"
• @michaelkaye is selected

But:

• Send another message, like hello there @michaelkaye how are you?
• Triple click "are"
• how are you? is selected
• Triple click "hello"
• hello there is selected

But:

• Send another message, like ok, @michaelkaye, where should this go?
• Triple click "ok"
• ok, is selected
• Triple click "should"
  @michaelkaye is selected

Describe how what happens differs from what you expected.

This seems very inconsistent - i'm not quite sure what does and doesn't cause it to select the whole message, but it's not /just/ pills being at the start of the line, but having pills in the message at all doesn't always trigger this behaviour. Multiple pills or not don't seem to change the weirdness.
