Re: "Updated mobile builds are available: Android Beta 27 and..."
The current logic with the markers is not waterproof, certainly. One detail that may cause confusion is that the start and end markers don't switch roles if you move the end marker before the start. The range is just applied as inverted. Also, the "word flip" only occurs when the end marker is moved in front of the initially selected word. Moving the start marker past the end does not behave the same.
I should probably remove the extra complication here and not try to "assist" you by attempting to keep the initially marked word inside the range, especially when it doesn't actually work 100% of the time....

Yes, keeping the pivot word selected is counterintuitive...
I do appreciate the word selection, when it works as expected, it's great
Updated mobile builds are available: Android Beta 27 and TestFlight 1.17 (9) These fix a couple of issues with text selection: Changes in the desktop v1.17 caused a regression on touch devices when dragging selection markers. Scrolling while selecting sometimes jumped the view to the top/bottom of the page. (A classic integer overflow when calculating the scrolling speed.)
