In the Microsoft Office certification software that my school uses, in the skill review mode, when I try to highlight something by double clicking the text, it makes the text larger. (autumn.revolt.chat)

It also happens on single click (possibly to make changing the text size easy), and you can also highlight by dragging and it'll work, but I still like to double click to highlight.

I often do the double click and drag to select by word like OP does, but double tapping a touch screen is a common gesture to zoom in. I would be annoyed too.

Double tap to select a word is a thing on mobile too, works in most input fields, it annoyed me it didn't work in jerboa app though, I use it definitely more than I'd use double tap to zoom
