Android - Text selection erratic as hell (feddit.uk)

On both the standard version and Firefox Focus (both from Play Store), when ever I try and select text to copy the page jumps around erratically. Sometimes it selects all the text on the screen, sometimes it jumps to the top of the page.

It's become impossible to select any sections of text. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

thanks

I've run into the same problem on many news articles. Where selection doesn't stop at the end of a paragraph, say, but jumps down to the end. If I try to scroll the end of the selection back up it jumps up to the top. Super annoying.

I have to switch to reader view to be able to select properly, most of the time.

I'll try reader view, thanks for the tip!
