Trouble highlighting long passages on mobile

What is the trick to highlight passages longer than a single screen on mobile and have them be all one highlight? I can highlight one screen worth and then scroll and highlight additional but then it enters it as two separate highlights. I would greatly appreciate any help here!

To verify: You are using continuous scroll, and not page swipes. Right? Start there.

If you are using scrolling view, then select the first word and alter the selection. Scroll as needed. Finish the selection. Then add the highlight.

Yep. Using scroll If I highlight down to the bottom of the screen though, it does not scroll. So, I can’t highlight beyond one screen’s text.

Is this android? I do not have issues using the technique I described on iOS (iPhone).

Is this a fix for "swipe to highlight," or for making a selection longer than a page?

That's weird. I updated my ios and Verbum this am. My old Biblia and latest Verbum don't multipage highlight (with scrolling ON).

Of course, the problem of getting the app to select is still there. But Kindle is similar at the top of the page ... have to battle it's select.

Yes JT, this is an issue in Android, and the fix is for making a selection that is longer than the text displayed in the current screen.

10 seems the same with highlights as 9. I been using logos since version 8. I don't think it's user error but it might be. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong if so.

Definitely not user error. The app is incapable of highlighting beyond the current screen you are on. 10 has not fixed this sadly. It forces me to buy many of my seminary books on Kindle instead.
