Strange selection behavior

#1

Post by dsesplin »

I've noticed on both my phone and tablet that selecting text can be problematic. When I hold my finger on a word, the word is selected. If I then drag my finger to the right, the selection usually expands. If I drag down, the text scrolls and the selection expands upward instead of downward. Just the opposite happens when I drag downward--the text scrolls and the selection expands in the wrong direction. The only reliable way to select text is to hold until the word is selected and then lift my finger and drag the endpoint to expand the selection. Am I doing something wrong?

It would be nice if the text didn't scroll when there was an active selection. Then you could just drag to expand the selection.
