I'll start to select text to highlight and the app triggers a scroll dragging it to the bottom of the screen selecting most of the text of the article. I have this issue on my pixel 7 pro, tab s9+, and onyx boox note air c

I have just updated and did a quick test. Seems to be working both in my phone OnePlus Nord 2T and my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. I will do further testing and report back, but so far it seems promising! Thank you very much!

Please try the latest version 4.7.7. I changed how highlight toolbar is appearing, should fix the selection issue

Rustem Mussabekov Yes! I can highlight multiple lines again in the Android App. I tested with two devices, a Samsung S6 Lite Tablet (using a pen) and a Xiaomi Redmi 11 smartphone. Now I can start tackling my reading TODO list again :-) Thank you!
Sorry for accusing you of bad testing before. I'm a dev myself, I know how hard interactions like these are to test. I was so frustrated that I couldn't use the app anymore, it has become an important chain in my "knowledge pipeline".

I can confirm this has happened to me too on an iPhone

I attempted to replicate this bug on the Pixel 7, Pixel 5, and Samsung Tab S6, but the selection appears to be working fine. Check attached recording.
From what I can tell, this issue affects only a small number of users. I’m investigating further—have you changed any system-wide touch sensitivity settings? Could there be an app interfering with the touchscreen? Also, have you connected an external keyboard or mouse?

Any news? I can't believe this bug even got shipped to production and was not caught beforehand by end to end tests. And that it's in production for weeks now and it bothers no one. I can't use the app anymore. Users that highlight are the power users. Power users are those willing to pay for premium. I'll cancel premium if this is not fixed within days.

Same happens in my phone. OnePlus Nord 2T.
Sometimes, selecting a word and then extending the selection upwards works fine.

I can confirm this. It happens on my Samsung S6 Lite tablet and it drives me crazy. The app is unusable for now.
