Thank you, I've added a variant of your suggested change and pushed to master (9f2145f42d).

This does not really cure the special case you mention, but unless I'm mistaken, linear text selection with the mouse exhibits a similar (identical?) quirk. I'm not sure if it's a problem in practice since it requires a specific sequence of events.

Is the change good enough for everyday use? If not, please help elaborate, and if you think that linear text selection needs attention.
