 > Hi folks!
 >
 > I was able to reproduce this issue by using the latest version of
 WordPress.org and also on a WordPress.com site.

 > **Steps to reproduce the problem:**
 >
 > 1. Log in to your WordPress site using a browser (Safari or Chrome) on
 any device with iOS 12.
 > 2. Edit or create a post/page with text on it using the Visual Editor
 > 3. Select/highlight any word. Then try to highlight the next or previous
 word.
 >
 > **What happens**
 >
 > It won't let you highlight what you want. Instead, it will highlight all
 the paragraph or nothing.
