Non-English issues

Hello.
I use Sigil on Windows 11, both in Spanish.
Some time ago, I have noticed two behaviors that I hope can be fixed:

1. Text boundaries are inconsistent: for example, when double-clicking or using Ctrl+cursor, in cases like:
"abc" (abc) -abc-
it correctly selects from a to c (not the symbols).

But it does not recognize symbols from other languages as boundaries:
—With opening exclamation and question marks (necessary in Spanish) it also selects the first two.
¡abc! ¿abc?
—With European/Latin quotation mark variants
«abc» “abc” ‘abc’
and other symbols, it selects the word + both of them.
…abc… —abc— •abc•

I am leaving a barebones sample epub (examples taken from the “Quotation marks” page on Wikipedia), in case it is useful.
(I have deliberately removed language tags from opf/xhtml.)


2. In the Preview window, clicking Inspect Page always displays this message:
Spoiler:

But none of the three possibilities remain. The next session will display the 'Zod, Ursa & Non' buttons again.
Could Sigil save the user's choice? Or, at least, force the message to be disabled?
