Steps to reproduce
Double-tap or long-press to select a word on Android. Drag selection handles to expand selection. Scroll down. Scroll up.
Note that this bug is pretty unpredictable. But this particular chunk of text seems to work quite well for reproducing it.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes. Note that the bug has been there since 1 November since before I did any customisation at all. It’s also reported in a couple of closed threads on this forum:
Expected result
The selection should expand to where I have dragged the selection handles. The selection handles should never disappear. And the context menu should pop up again every time the selection changes.
Actual result
The selection did not expand the first two times I tried to drag the selection handles. The selection handles sometimes disappear unpredictably. And the context menu also disappeared after changing the selection.
The weird thing is that it will reappear if I tap the selection. But what should happen is that the text should get deselected.

Here’s a link to another screen recording from before I disabled my snippets that is a better example of the selection handles disappearing: Discord
Here’s the text that appears in the screen recording. I’m including it because the bug is unpredictable, but it does seem reproducible with this text.
