Research direction

Start by reproducing the multi-cursor, one-character selection behavior using the asciicast linked in the issue, then inspect the selection and cursor-handling paths in the Go editor code. Confirm the expected character boundaries and add a regression test if the relevant test location can be identified; done means repeated character-by-character selections no longer shift by one.
