I know it may have something to do with syntax table...
but I do not how to do it.
Or is there a custom setting which controls this?

If you double-click on a non-word but symbol-constituent character,
you'll select the symbol instead of the word. So in Emacs Lisp mode,
double-clicking on the minus will select foo-bar, whereas
double-clicking on the b will select bar only.

Thanks for the answer. Actually I noticed that behaviour recently.
It is kind of inconsistent though. I have to be precise with the
mouse which defeats the purpose of double-click to select word
principle. SO my question is is there some way to modify this
behaviour ? Using advise maybe ? I found out that the
defun mouse-skip-word in mouse.el is responsible for the behaviour.

Yeah, I guess redefining that function will do.
