That is an odd one. I didn’t know it was an issue. It turns out that I don’t naturally select text that way, which is why I never noticed. Regardless of editor, I usually hit Enter on my keyboard to split paragraphs up where I am separating the text (the visual separation helps me). Then, I copy/cut from there. Obviously, your workflow is different, but perhaps give that a try to see how it feels for a bit.

There is an open ticket for the issue, and some work has been done to set the foundation for handling it properly. Specifically quoted from the commit:

A step closer towards partial block selection and actions. Currently when the mouse press is released, we expand the selection to the whole block. In the future, we can remove this code, set a more detailed selection state, and update action like merging to look at this more detailed state.
