screencast showing the issue

SUMMARY

This is Okular 24.02.0, not 24.01.95.

I realize PDFs can be fickle, but this issue is consistent across all PDFs I've
tested, including some very basic ones. Copy your favorite "lorem ipsum" text
into a LibreOffice Writer document, export it to PDF, and you should be able to
reproduce this issue.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start selecting some text by clicking on a line in the document, and then
dragging down to select multiple lines or sentences.
2. While continuing to hold down the mouse button, drag to the left (further
left than you began the selection on the top line).

OBSERVED RESULT

The *starting* point of the selection changes (is moved left).

EXPECTED RESULT

The *ending* point of the selection changes, on the final line of the
selection.
