I can't see image in Word, so I deleted it, also to reduce complexity of the example 6. Place cursor right from lorem drag to left and slightly down 7. A position left of heading is included in the selection (.. which also pastes as heading style.. not intended) You get the same result, if you place cursor left from Lorem and move it slightly down. So behaviour is consistent here. And I suppose, that the current behaviour is intended.

Created attachment 179497 [details] same document with modified styles With this modified document, I would agree this is a bit unexpected. I have changed the styles so the Text body style has 1 cm of spacing below the paragraph, and the Heading 1 style has no spacing above it. a) With these styles, one would expect that selecting some of the Text body and shifting slighty below it wouldn't select the heading, as all this blank space is supposed to be part of the Text body style. b) For the same reason, selecting some of the Headinng 1 and shifting a fair bit up into the blank space could be expected to select some text above. I would agree with Telesto that this behaviour could be improved on, in particular for (a). I see two options: 1) Select the text only when the actual text is reached, or 2) Select the text when the space that belongs to the style is reached.

Not sure why this is assigned to me, probably a mistake. Unassigning.
