Suggestion: Start highlighting from the middle of the page

[Ashraf-Bashir]

Lookup has a really smart behavior: when you select a word, it starts the interaction around the middle of the page, so the page doesn't need to move as much.

Could highlighting use the same approach? Currently, highlighting starts from the beginning/top of the page, which can require significantly more page movement to reach text further down.

Starting highlight selection from around the middle of the page, like Lookup, could reduce unnecessary screen movement and make highlighting faster and smoother, especially on button-based devices.

I think your suggested solution is better, but also think both should be implemented. In case one wants to start a clip above the middle of a page and end it far down, or even on the next page :)

Middle of the page averages the situations ;)
