 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.
 Here's a video:

 (You will notice this only happens with the Visual Editor and not the Text
 Editor)

 **What I expected**

 To be able to highlight the text as in the Text Editor

 **Devices where I was able to replicate this:**
 iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2 (A1567)

 **OS:**
 iOS 12.0

 **Browser:**
 Safari & Chrome
