Description
Android TextView vs Flutter SelectionArea on Pixel 5 Android 12 emulator
android.mp4
flutter.mp4
This applies for both dragging the handles as well as long-press drag (#26394). Selection should expand by words and should not select next/previous line when the gesture extends beyond the current line.
