BUG: Selection Glitch in Android (24.0.0)

BACKGROUND:

First off, I rarely use Logos anymore on Android because it is so much more difficult to read, select, and highlight than in iOS. I actually had to buy an iPhone to get a usable Logos experience, even though I miss everything else about Android. In order to return to using Android, I would need:

  • The ability to select text and then scroll without losing the selection to be able to select larger portions of text that run off the screen.
  • Custom highlights to be displayed correctly in the selection menu.

However, sometimes my iPhone is charging and I take my old Android phone to bed and try to read and highlight on my Android phone.

THE ISSUE:

I noticed in the last few weeks that selection has become impossible. I press, hold, and drag to start selecting text. At first it seems like it is responsive. However, it is only responsive as I am expanding the selection by moving right/down. If I try to move left/up to select less, it doesn't update the selection unless I go way to the beginning and then start moving right/down again.

    My weekly bumping of unanswered posts in hopes that they will get an appropriate response.

    Robert, I am unable to reproduce this issue. A few questions:

    1. Are you referring to text selection with the blue touch targets or swipe-to-highlight?
    2. Are you able to reproduce this issue on the latest update (released Friday): 24.0.1?
    3. If yes to #2, can you please send a screen recording?

    Thank you in advance!
