Firefox - It selects whole node instread of text

Iā€™ve had this problem the entire time Iā€™ve used Dynalist and itā€™s still a problem today (and I do use Firefox, on Linux if that matters ā€” it does seem like the 3 of us Iā€™ve seen reporting this issue are on Firefox on Linux). Whenever it gets into the problematic state, I can go back to normal behavior by tapping Escape or tapping Ctrl.

There is no notable JS console output, but I believe Dynalistā€™s code is in some cases getting confused and thinking Ctrl is still held when it is not. I sometimes trigger it when I am pasting with Ctrl+V, and then it acts like Iā€™m still holding Ctrl on my next mouse click. I think it may be the same bug as in Ctrl-Tab Confuses Dynalist Think The Control Button is Constantly Held Down.

Itā€™s a finicky issue. It seems like this sequence triggers it:

  1. Press Ctrl
  2. Press v
  3. Release v
  4. Release Ctrl

But this sequence doesnā€™t cause any problems:

  1. Press Ctrl
  2. Press v
  3. Release Ctrl
  4. Release v

Iā€™ve learned to work around this, but it is a really annoying problem that I would really appreciate a fix for. The only reason I hadnā€™t reported it earlier is because the problem is so difficult to describe.
