Research direction

Start by reproducing annotation and text-selection actions in Xreader 2.8.3 on the reported 1.3 MB document, monitoring memory use and the freeze. Read related issues #456 and #70 for context; done means identifying and fixing the excessive memory growth or freeze and verifying the behavior no longer occurs.
