Should be fixed at 5.3.6205 (crx|xpi in review)
Please download the crx file linked above and drag and drop it to the extensions page chrome://extensions
(after you've enabled 'Developer Mode').
For a quick fix please export your settings and scripts as zip or (JSON) file at the "Utilities" tab and import it back at the fixed BETA version.
I installed the 5.3.6205 beta, and both text selection and findNext/findPrev seems to work perfectly 👍
Expected Behavior
Using the mouse cursor to select text within 60 pixels of the top or bottom of the editor shouldn't make it continuously try to scroll the line cursor "into view".
Actual Behavior
Because cursorScrollMargin is set to 60, selecting text with the mouse cursor within 60 pixels of the top or bottom of the editor is essentially impossible. When you click on one of the lines near the top or bottom, the editor tries to keep the line cursor at least 60 pixels away from the margins by scrolling it into view. This moves what you're trying to select away from the mouse cursor, which makes you select what was scrolled in, which moves the line cursor, and so on.
I believe this is related to the 4.19.0 update note "Ensure editor search results are scrolled into view"
It can be fixed by removing "cursorScrollMargin: 60" from extension.js If there is enough reason to keep cursorScrollMargin set to 60, I believe a mousedown/mouseup event listener can be used to set it to 0 temporarily. Or perhaps checking if left click is held in the "scrollIntoView" function would work better.
