[BUG] App scrolls on its own and selects its own text #177

Open Piscium opened 8 months ago

Describe the bug Sometimes I select some text by pressing with the finger and holding and the App scrolls up or down on its own and selects some other text. The key word is "sometimes", this does not happen every time.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a note with 62 lines of text (the issue I have is with a note with 62 lines)
  2. With the finger press and hold until the little menu appears that says "Copy Select all"
  3. Scroll a few times to the top and bottom of the file randomly
  4. Do steps 2 and 3 again until issue manifests. The issue is that I press on one word and the app scrolls on its own to a different part of the note and selects something else.

Expected behavior If I press and hold to select, it should not on its own scroll somewhere else and select something else!

I found a reliable workaround for this issue. I touch lightly to the right of the end of the line from which I want to select some text, then I select the text. This prevents the app jumping to a random place.
