You must be running an xterm with settings from the stone ages. I had the impression that modern installations have the selection configured such that a file path can be selected with a mere double-click, without dragging. For this, the dot must be in the same class as letters and digits. Just for reference (I don't know how to read this):
$ appres XTerm | grep charClass *charClass: 33:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,126:48,95:48
That said, I welcome this change, though I'd just have dropped ... or replaced with a colon (preference for the second).
