When working with sentences€”like this one€”that use em dashes to set off a
phrase, text selection can be dificult. For example, trying to select "like
this one" by clicking right before "like" and dragging the cursor across the
phrase results in the following being selected instead: "sentences€”like this
one€”that". An em dash should be treated as a separate unit for this
operation, rather than as part of a big word glued together by the em dash.
