Android Selection in Reader- Selecting text near top/bottom of screen to scroll is buggy

Split from https://forum.obsidian.md/t/selecting-text-near-top-bottom-of-screen-to-scroll-is-buggy/113093

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select any text (On mobile)
  2. Drag the “Selection Handles” to the top or bottom of the screen.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes.

Expected result

The document gradually scrolls up/down, allowing me to select text farther up/down, like how any other app works.

Actual result

  • Scrolling Up - Reading Mode: It suddenly snaps to the top of the document, freezes the app, then crashes. Sometimes (Very rarely) also gives a popup asking to “Uninstall WebView updates” after the crash. (Doing so does not prevent the crash or any of these bugs).
  • Scrolling Down - Reading Mode: It suddenly snaps to the bottom of the document.

Additional information

  • Video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb6JGvlwuzY (Timestamps in description for each of the 4 scenarios)
  • I only started using Obsidian a few days ago so my settings are almost default.
  • Changing to a different keyboard has no effect.
  • Crash popup:

I agree it snaps to the top too fast.
It doesn’t crash for me.
