For example: https://github.com/search?q=something&type=code.
I can select text inside the code snippets by the usual dragging, but if I try to to cancel the selection by a single-click or if I double-click to select a word, it navigates to the result. To me this is unexpected behavior, because the I-beam cursor means text manipulation and not navigation, so this is arguably non-ideal UX. There are already multiple other ways to go to the result: file name links, line number links, empty space links at line ends.
