That actually works that way in the name of consistency - those arrows move the end of the selection, not the beginning. It would be very confusing otherwise; if tapping that arrow with the selection 1 wide extended it backwards, what would happen the next time you tapped it after that? Would it move the end of the selection or the beginning?
got it. thanks for the clarification. still learning how to use Pleco, but cant tell you how much its help me with learning mandarin dont know where i would be without it.
