When I use the text selection tool to select text in a PDF file, Okular lets the starting point instead of the end point of the text selection region follow my cursor when the cursor is located before the original starting point. I don't think it is an intended behavior because it is super confusing and unintuitive. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a pdf file in Okular. 2. Use the official text selection tool to select something. OBSERVED RESULT The starting point of the text selection region follow the cursor when it is located before the original starting point. EXPECTED RESULT The starting point should be fixed during the text selection operation. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Okular Version: 24.02.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2
