The problem appears to be caused by display of UTF-8, such as boxes.
Here is a display from a fresh session; on each line the cursor was at
the end of the line when ENTER was pressed, so that select should be the
same as the length of the term window:
The 3 numbers are (start of selection),(end of selection),(length of
term window text)
(0 ". fs), #ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'
54 54 54
(0 ". fs), #ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'
118 118 118
(0 ". fs), #ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'
185 185 185
<1
┌─┐
│1│
└─┘
(0 ". fs), #ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'
270 270 286
select has fallen 16 characters behind. 16 is exactly the number of
extra bytes added in converting the 8 boxing characters to UTF-8.

there appears to be some magic with
WinSelect_jqtide_
WinText_jqtide_
but accessing these seem to get stale quickly. ie. doesn't grow despite more
getting added to console
this line does update a new "winselect" but it seems out of sync
(400 (i.@[ + -~) 0 {.@". fs) {ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'
should print the last 400 characters, but
(0 ". fs), #ft [ 'ft fs' =. {:"1 wd 'sm get term;'

the last select value is well below the character count. These are 4
successive calls. Select does not go up by a consistent amount and neither
does Textcount, though in the last 2 calls there is a consistent 76 increase in
select and 72 increase in Text
If I were to guess what is happening, for the large discrepancies, is any
output from 1!:2 does not update fs.
I can point out that finddissectline_dissect_ as a user key breaks fairly
quickly after starting jqt. Though it does work on startup.
