When a text-rendering pipeline splits source into blocks (stripping between them) and each block then re-emits its own trailing , the rendered string gets exactly N extra characters for N blocks. Selections fired at offset K land at offset K+N in storage space. The bug looked like a random 'wrong spot' error because every page had a different off-by-N.
