--- Comment #7 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> ---
There are two aspects to this report:

The first aspect is buggy Group behavior when a selection spans characters that
are ignored, like spaces and punctuation. This could be fixed by not grouping
non-contiguous base text, at least in the CJ case.

The second aspect is better behavior when annotating non-CJ text.

There were no tests, and the code didn't work properly when I started, so it's
made for a bit of guesswork about how the APG was originally meant to behave.
Currently, the code allows for large selections, and only presents the
word-like, non-punctuation parts for annotation. In order to make APG work
better for western text, we would have to change that behavior to include
punctuation and spaces for annotation.

I would be interested to hear opinions from other users about this. When I use
the APG, I find it most natural to select a single word or compound word at a
time for annotation, so I wouldn't consider this change an issue. However, it
might have a large impact on others.
