Hopefully stupid enough!

I was confused to what you meant there, a selection is a selection!

Newstap has a general problem with editing replies for me.

Something other than the occasional last-line-gets-incorrectly-indented
problem?

Yes, I have raised a few issues which make it hard to edit posts. Or at
least harder than it should be.

If you are not seeing them it is not a problem, but they are a bit
frustrating as it is basically a good application and I am glad that
something which could be considered these days to be of fringe interest
such as newsreading is supported.

Hopefully there will be a new version soon.

I've noticed that on long posts, especially in landscape mode, the insertion
point has a nasty habit of slipping under the keyboard.

If you get that, get rid of the keyboard, then select something at the
top of the post. Then scroll down.
Whatever you do, dont select something at the bottom of a long post to
get the keyboard up!
