Triple-click on last paragraph of pull-request comment

Body

On GitHub pull request comments, triple-clicking on a word in the last paragraph of a comment selects all paragraphs of a comment. This breaks with the default macOS behavior, where triple-clicking on a word selects only the paragraph that word resides in.

GitHub should not hijack the meaning of triple-click—it should do what the macOS default behavior is. At the very least, whatever behavior GitHub chooses should be the same no matter whether triple-clicking the last paragraph or any other paragraph.

You can see an example in this recording:

(Recorded on this pull request.)

1. Launch macOS. I have verified this behavior in Chrome and Safari. Interestingly, it does not reproduce in Firefox.
2. Open a pull request which has a comment containing more than one paragraph.
3. Triple-click a word in the last paragraph of that comment
4. Observe that on the down of the third click, the entire paragraph is selected, but on the release of the third click, all paragraphs in the comment are selected.
