Expand selection problem

[obwohl]

I am writing in python and want to expand my selection. But it’s always taking a way to big “jump” , for example here:

def homeostasis_regulation(self, X):

pressing cmd+shift+a it goes: cursor->word->line ->line before column > line after column ---->JUMPS to the whole skript.

That’s strange. Can somebody help?

ST’s “smart expand selection” command is sometimes not soo smart.
