Taking the centre along the vertical axis seems to work reasonably well. I've tested this on a handful of documents, including an RTL document from https://fa.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D9%88%DB%8C%DA%98%D9%87:DownloadAsPdf&page=%D8%B2%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%86_%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C&action=show-download-screen

I'm observing some issues with one of my documents. I will look into this before reopening this.

I will be testing this during the next few days of ordinary usage. Migrating existing highlights is going to be an issue for those that relied on word selection mode,...

https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/pull/742/commits/d5c85fa46ac329798bb74b68df424eaf54bef3a7 allows preserving the old rendering behaviour of highlights read from the database.

The latest change allows replacing individual highlights with ones with updated start and end points. I haven't experienced any issues with my changes these days. If needed, I can add...

That's great news, and thanks for the heads-up. I'd be happy to integrate the changes once you think that your private branch is ready --- ideally shortly before you make...

Should I try to adapt this to the development version? I haven't been able to run the development version yet, possibly because of the shaders not compiling at runtime for...

That's completely fine -- I'll open an issue. Most of it was fairly straightforward. Getting https://github.com/ahrm/sioyek/pull/742/commits/189b82a3c0e6b621ad7c587d2ff5d4367a867fc0 right was what took most of the time -- feel free to use this...

Right, I created one back in June: #741

Thanks, I hadn't seen that one when looking at the code. That option does not work well when selecting entire words though, as it seems to use the mouse coordinates....
