Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Binary Ninja 3.2.3906-dev on Windows 11 by opening a binary, finding a hex dump in linear view, and clicking its address. Trace the linear-view hex-dump interaction from there; done means clicking the address selects the address rather than the first byte of the line.
