When selecting a word, last letter isn’t selected

Question

I read a lot of pdf’s in English, which isn’t my native language. When I come across words which I don’t understand, I select them and use the define function which works very well.

The only issue is that with 95% of the words I select (by simply having a long press on that particular word), the last letter of that word isn’t selected. Hence I have to manually adjust the selection with the slider which is quite cumbersome.

I can’t figure out why 5% of those words don’t have this issue (plural, infinitive,...). Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks in advance!
