fwiw, I believe this is due to HN's archaic table-based html layout, as opposed to some javascript code like on medium and this new ms docs site.

- ihsw 10y agoThis is it. It has to do with border-spacing between table cells -- when you select text that runs into the border-spacing, it resets the selection to go from 1) original cell 2) start of the table 3) next cell. With more sane styling (ie: setting border-spacing to 0), the selection won't jump to the start of the table.
