Quirky selection behaviour in Android

There was an error rendering this rich post.

If I'm selecting text for highlighting at the end of a reading plan entry, the pop-up dialog pushes the selection on-screen but either mangles the displayed selection or fails to display the selection. The selection remains active even though it's not correctly displayed or missing.

I have text at the smallest font size.

I recorded video, but the forum won't let me upload it. I'm sharing links to Google Drive, but let me know if you're unable to access them.

Thanks, James. I can't see your Google Drive files; it looks like they are set to private. Would you change the permissions on them, please?

Done! You have been set up as an editor.

Sorry about that. I wasn't sure how best to share that with you and don't use Google Drive often enough to know my way around!

All the best,

Thanks, James. We're taking a look.

FYI... this is not a new issue from a recent release. This problem has been present for a number of months. I believe that it began around the same time the changes to font size options were made. That's just a rough guess, however.

Thanks!
