N months later, while Tobias Geerinckx-Rice is asleep, a new patch appears:
Typographically Correct via Guix-patches [...]

FWIW, double-click seems to work well in Emacs, Gnome Terminal.
Instead of working-around bugs, can ‘we’ fix the bug in Alacritty?
Or at least, open a bug report?
Unfortunately, GitHub's TOS and Privacy Policy were ... not great
last time I checked, though I can't find the ‘badness’ anymore except
for some weird section on ‘idemnity’. In any case, there is an #alacritty
channel:
