--- Comment #19 from Dave Gilbert <freedesktop at treblig.org> ---
I think I can reproduce this or something similar, possibly related to comment
6 (on ~head as of about a week old source) - I think there's an asymmetry about
partially selected characters. (I'm on Fedora 34, on xfce)

a) Select a largeish font size (I'm using 32pt)
b) type 'Hello world this is a test' (you don't want to trigger spelling stuff)
c) Click in the left half of the 'w' and drag to the right, releasing while the
pointer is still in the left half of the 'd' - at this point 'worl' is
highlighted.
d) Right click (without moving) - the selection is cleared, copy/cut are not
shown in the menu

e) Ensure there is no selection
f) click slightly to the right of the 'd' and drag to the left, releasing while
the point is still in the right half of the 'w' - at this point 'orld' is
highlighted.
g) Right click (without moving) - the selection is kept, copy/cut are shown in
the menu

So in both of these cases the right-click is performed slightly outside of the
selection - just after overshooting a little; 
but overshooting by under a half character to the right keeps the selection,
but overshooting by under a half character to the *left* clears it

I'm not 100% sure if this is what the reporter is seeing, but I think it is
