What’s The Bug?
When you want to mark a text area in the editor with pressed and held left mousebutton it can happen that it triggers the autoscroll function.
In such a case, and when the mouse leaves the original block, the startpoint as well as the endpoint of the selection is no longer there you intended them.
There’s nothing you can do against it, no matter how you try to drag the mouse.
You’ll need to release the left mousebutton and start the marking new.
How To Reproduce It
- Open a large text (so that there is a scroll bar on the right side).
- Use the mouse to mark mark an area of the text that is relatively far down on the page.
- Drag the mouse further down, so that the text begins to scroll automatically.
You’ll see that the startpoint of your selection has moved.
Try a bit, you’ll find some more strange details, also concerning the endpoint of the selection.

The Expected Behavior
The marking should always start where you begun the marking.
Same thing for the endpoint, it should always end to where the mouse points, nowhere else.
Additional Context
(In my animated GIF I try to start the selection at “paradoxe Situation”.)
