It happens in multiple programs e.g. the terminal, Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ IDEA, etc. This gives the impression of text selection 'skipping' i.e. some text deselecting and then new text becoming selected, within the text block you are trying to highlight, and makes it very difficult to highlight/select large blocks of text.\r\n\r\n**Steps to reproduce**\r\nAttempt to highlight some text with the mouse pointer by dragging the pointer over some text whilst holding the left mouse button down\r\n\r\n**Expected behaviour**\r\nText dragged over with the mouse pointer should become highlighted/selected and remain that way\r\n\r\n**Other information**\r\nThis only started happening recently - within the past couple of weeks."}}
