Bug Description
Selecting multiple text lines in multiple pages is not straightforward or easy. I can't just drag the mouse down to select more text, instead, I have to scroll-down with the mouse wheel or the down-key on the keyboard. This imposes a usability constraint.
What should happen:
When I select text in multiple pages, the screen should scroll-down automatically when the cursor reaches the end of the screen and there is still text down to select.
What happens instead:
I have to scroll-down with the mouse wheel or the down-key on the keyboard while dragging the mouse at the same time.
