Cursor selection behavior When clicking something on the Mac screen, the cursor will 

a) take up residence as directed, 

If I click again, it will 

b) select the whole word, 

If I click again, it will

c) select the whole passage. 

In Windows, I can click a fourth time, and the cursor will return to "a," the "residence" mode.  On the Mac, it stays in "whole passage" mode. I have to move the cursor out of text, so restore it to "a."

I frequently click a fourth time and expect it to return to mode A. I don't like having to correct this and move the cursor.
How can I make the fourth click return to mode A, "residence"?
Clicking will reset to the "residence" mode provided that you leave enough time after the previous clicks that it isn't treated as a quadruple click.  At least, that's the way it works for me in Chrome on my MacBook Pro.
