The only strange part is hiliting the white space when it really isn't part
of the selection. Hmmm, another strange part is that all of the text on
the line (date modified, size, kind) is considered part of the selection so
double clicking on this text opens the files in the selection while
double-clicking in the white space between them doesn't.

CW acts like pre-OS X Finder. Only the icon and filename/groupname are
selected. The selection is truly described by the hilited region. You
must click on the "content" file name or icon to add it to the selection.
Clicking in any white space removes the selection. Single clicks in the
selection have no visible effect and double clicks open all the files in
the selection.
Finder used to work similar to or exactly like this. Somewhere around
Panther they added the whole-line hiliting UI.
