Text selection is buggy when using CMD+A to select all, focusing elsewhere, and then selecting back in the original pane

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use CMD+A (or equivalent keyboard shortcut) to “select all” in current text pane

2. Click outside of the text pane with the selected text, to remove focus.

3. Click or click and drag back in the text pane, regaining focus. The selection will now be stuck in a bugged state. It will not be possible to “deselect” just by clicking or dragging around.

This occurs both in the json editor and in the response viewer.

I’ve figured out one way to get out of the buggy state without restarting the app:

• click back in the buggy text area

• use CMD+A to “select all” again

• click in the text area again (without clicking outside first)

see example here:

This effectively clears the buggy selection, but as you can see at the end, there are still some weird artifacts when selecting and then deselecting text.
