Sublime - expand selection only to matches

Sublime-Text-3 Expands the selection in a weird manner.I have the following Code-Snippet:

    appName = "Weired Application"
    for i in appName:
        print i

When i select i and want to expand selection to the next occurrence, it will select the i of the word in. How can i expand selections only to matches? When i mark "i" it will show the correct selection, which is the i next to print but its expanding to the next occurring character.

I already tried almost every combination in search/replace (as those options are related to CTRL + D as well)

Did you tried to just place the cursor next to i then CTRL + D? in my case(Windows 8.1), selecting a block on i then CTRL + D and placing cursor before/next to i then CTRL + D gave me different outcome, and placing cursor(not making a block) gave me the result that you wanted.
