'How do I stop Android Studio from highlighting specific words when double clicking?

Whenever I double click on whatever contains more than one word in it, Android Studio will highlight the word it thinks I'm clicking on rather than that entire value.

Take View.findViewById for instance. Double clicking on findViewById will either highlight find, View, By, or Id, but I just want it to select findViewById. I've gone through Android Studio's preferences, but I didn't see anything that looked like a toggle or option for this.

More examples:

private String fooBar;

This will either highlight foo or Bar depending on where I click.

myView.addView(...);

This will either highlight my/View or add/View, but not myView or addView.
