- Left-to-Right: the resulting selection is as expected
- Right-to-Left: the resulting selection leaves out the initially selected word
Expected
When selecting from Right-to-Left via double-click, the originally selected word be included in the resulting selection range.
Observed
When selecting from Right-to-Left via double-click, the originally selected word is not included in the resulting selection range.
Reproduced
- Create a note with multiple words.
- Double click the last word.
- Drag the mouse pointer to the left so that the selection range encompass earlier words.
- Observe that the last word is no longer selected.
