Thank you for spending more time answering my question. I understand the challenges you face positioning the pop-up bar.
But bits of the selection are covered by the drag handles no matter how the text is selected.
I guess I'm just going to have to ether accept that my old workflow is gone if I want to use the benefits of the pop-up.
I know many of us likely have requests but I know this could be cleared up by only showing the pop-up when it's been called up.
Regardless, thank you.
