Research direction
The issue points to source-code maps in the AST Explorer and bidirectional selection updates. Start by reproducing selection in the AST Explorer, especially at points where the mapping is inaccurate, then trace the selection and source-map entry points. Done means source and AST selections stay synchronized across the affected points.
