Moving cursor between words for editing (and now just typing?) is still broken.

Pretty much any interaction with the comment box creates highlights between two words. No matter how you tap, it's nearly impossible to just have one single cursor. Sometimes it'll shrink to a single space, but that's about it, and it's been like this quite a while.

Typing this post, I'm able to just tap and move the cursor, but if this were a comment, it would create a highlight between where it is, and where I tapped next, every time.

The TARDIS Tells a Joke: An Original Story Update

This is an update to Chapter 1 of short-ish original Doctor Who story I'm writing. Or trying to, at least. I'd love some opinions on whether or not I'm capturing the energy of the show in a kind of novel-form. The general pace of everything will come down a bit in coming chapters.

I have it up as a Speechify above which will narrate it, or a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DO6ZoDWImaaAiaj8P1TUeukzXm6GbP5-/view?usp=drive_link

Is Romo Lampkin on Battlestar from Aerilon?

In s3e17, Gaius Baltar demonstrates his original Aerilon accent to Chief. It's a gravelly "back of the throat" accent that sounds a lot like Mark Sheppard. Next episode we meet Baltar's lawyer, played by...Mark Sheppard. His law career is obviously on Caprica, but are the accents just coincidence? Is Lampkin faking it because he read the book? He doesn't strike me as a manual labor-type, but his story could be similar.

Editing comments has been near unusable since last update.

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.

Display full scroll bar with arrow buttons in applications?

I'm not finding anything about this with searches, and the Google AI is like the dumbest kid on the short bus, so I'm turning here.

I have the OS Application Style set to 'Oxygen' which supposedly displays a full No Bullshit scrollbar. With arrows and everything, like in the old days, so I can just click the button, and the fucking page will scroll.

This setting is not changing any applications' scroll bars, nor is any other style. I'm using Libre Writer for something more than 2 pages, and if I have to grab the invisible scroll bar to drag it up and down manually any longer, I am going to lose my goddamn mind. This has possibly already happened.

I've looked at every possible setting. There's nothing about how the scroll bar is displayed, and again, it's every app. So please, for the love of God, someone tell me how to force full scrollbars on installed applications.

[OC] A snippet from a Historical Fantasy story I'm writing about the Witch Trials.

My story is set in Salem, MA, during the infamous Witch Trials. This is some dialogue I just wrote today, so likely not final. It is a 100% fictional inquisition by the non-fictional Reverend Parris of Salem Village.

As you may gather, I like to have some fun with the dialogue here and there. Link is below.
