I think this might be in vs-code?

Hmm, maybe not, this doesn't repro at all in vs-code.

Note that this is easily reproducible via selecting text, and then calling document.getSelection() which will return truncated text.

As explained in #1540 (comment) I cannot reproduce this issue in Chrome. I have this issue in Firefox though, so I am not sure this is the same problem.
