The draggable cursor has been getting stuck on the span mode, and refuses to go back to the single cursor no matter where you tap. Sometimes the end even gets stuck at the end of the whole comment text, and can't be moved to span a single character, unless it's the last one. Sometimes it works fine, but usually not. It does usually seem to go back to normal if you cancel, and re-edit.

Damn, I thought this was just me. Happy (I guess?) to see otherwise. FYI, if you're on Android, you can drag left and right on the spacebar to change the location of the cursor. That's how I've been getting around it.

Well thanks, I didn't know that, and yeah it works. Jesus, I wish I knew that trick earlier.

Hey there! Thanks for the report, are you using Gboard as your keyboard by any chance? If so, it might be somewhat related to a recent update with Gboard that's causing the underlying bug.

A workaround for this issue at the moment is to try tapping on the Shift key a couple of times which should get you out of the span mode temporarily. Or as others have suggested, using space to move the cursor around.

Unfortunately this issue is not directly caused by Thunder but rather the framework that Thunder is built on. See https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/184744 for more information. Once the upstream bug is fixed, I can push out a new update to fix the issue!
