Triple-click function does not select the whole line of text

Changing the code to support triple click on Windows will introduce risk of regression for existing scenarios. When we revisit the mouse input flow in the editor, we can reconsider this.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new URP 3D Project
In the Main Scene, select the Main Camera object
In the inspector window
Click on the Name field
Unselect the text
Triple-click in the name input field

Actual results: Only one word becomes selected

Expected results: Triple-click selects all words in a line/paragraph

Reproducible with versions: 2022.3.65f1, 6000.0.55f1, 6000.1.15f1, 6000.2.0b13, 6000.3.0a4

Reproducible on (OS): Windows 11, Ubuntu 22, Ubuntu 24

Not reproducible on (OS): macOS 15.5

Notes:

Triple-click functionality seems to work consistently on macOS. At least I was unable to find a scenario where it wouldn't work there
On Windows/Ubuntu, triple-click does work in limited scenarios F.E. - selecting multi-word text in the Search window input (Video attached)
