SUMMARY
Selection mode interrupts when pressing Shift+PgDn.

Use case: Use mouse click and paging (Shift+PgDn) to select a large snippet of
text.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click LMB where I want my selection to start, hold it.
2. Press Shift+PgDn to scroll one page down.
3. Move mouse pointer (while holding LMB pressed) to the exact location where
the user wants to the selection to end.

OBSERVED RESULT
The selection is finalized in the state it was in when Shift+PgDn was pressed.

EXPECTED RESULT
Moving the mouse pointer (while holding LMB pressed) should continue changing
one of the current selection's boundaries.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: gLinux Rodete
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Workaround #1: Instead of using Shift+PgDn, move the mouse pointer below the
window edge and wait for the log to scroll sufficiently. It's ~10x slower
though (the exact difference factor may vary), compared to scrolling with
Shift+PgDn.

Workaround #2: Export the whole log to a file, then edit that file to keep the
desired part.
