Text selection bug when selecting lines/paragraphs
Hi Harri! Sorry, I know this is late in testing, but I recently discovered the following My goal was to select a few lines of text. So, I used the following for testing: Text to use: Hello world. This is a test. Notice, that there are a newline between the two sentences. I hold dots 13 down and swiped left to bring the cursor to the start of the text buffer. Then I changed the preview mode to line. I hold down dots 2 and 3 to select text and swiped right: Observed: MBraille said: This is a test Expected: MBraille said: Hello world. I could confirm the selection by swiping up with two fingers while holding dots 23 down. Now, I wanted to select the next line: This is a test. This was not possible. Observed: When I swiped right while holding dots 23 down, MBraille repeated: This is a test. Not selected. This might also be the case for paragraphs. Can this be fixed before going to App Store?

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. Indeed a bit late. I think it may be an issue when the line (or other selection unit) is the first or last in the buffer. I will make a note of it and fix in an update.
