Remote Selection Ribbon Doesn't Match That Remote User's Version

[seflless]

The selection ribbon doesn't fill to the right on the first line of multiple selections, for the remote user.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use Google Chrome to open demo page in two tabs, put each tab's window side by side, left and right
2. Set the following as the editor content:

const i = 10;
const j = i+1;

3. On the left tab select from just after the ; on the first line, through to the last ; on the second line
4. You should be seeing something like the following

Expected behavior Ribbon for the remainder of the top line in a remote user's multi-line selection should match what the remote user sees. See rounded rectangle on the right of the above screenshot

@dmonad Could you give me some pointers to where the logic/data-structures are for the awareness protocol related to text selection?

Hi @seflless, This is located in the y-protocols package.

I fixed this issue in y-codemirror. The fix, however, is quite complicated and required some extensive logic. I'll leave this issue open as I don't think it's too important.
