Description

In the screenshot, we can see that there is a PE file staring at 0x8105bf with the header MZ. However, when I try to select it be dragging, the selection only includes the bytes starting from the next line

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the drag-selection case in the linear view at a row's last byte, then trace the selection handling for that view. Done means a selection starting on the last byte includes that byte rather than beginning on the next line.
