Brief Introduction

For EPUBs, allow highlighting text across a page turn.

Details

When reading in double page mode, it is already possible to highlight text across the two shown pages. But it is not possible to highlight a sentence or paragraph which starts at the bottom of the (right) page and ends on the next (turned) page.

For reference: see the implantation in KOReader.

Thanks for your feedback, we will fix it in the next update

Does "Fixed an issue where highlighting text across pages did not show the text popup." from v2.0.3 refer to this issue?

If yes, it is not "fixed" yet. However, I think that this is a new feature which has to be implemented (rather than a fix).

For clarification: If you are in "single page mode" and you start highlighting the last sentence of the page, is it possible to continue the highlight on the next book page?

Yes, this log does refer to this issue. This feature works fine on my end under both double page mode and single page mode. Please make sure that you don't release the mouse and scroll to the next page with mouse wheel.

I see, thx. And how can this be achieved in mobile app (Android)?

Highlighting text across pages is not supported on Android yet, we will look into it.

Then I keep this issue open (and I adjusted the title accordingly).
