Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; begin by locating micro's mouse-event handling and the selection logic it invokes. Compare the requested left-click, Shift-click, and cursor-range behavior with existing selection behavior, then verify that the highlighted range matches both cursor points without breaking normal mouse input.
