Research direction
Start by reproducing Command-A in the CodeEditTextView editor with a multi-line file, then inspect the selection and highlighting behavior around the final line. Done means pressing Command-A visibly highlights every line while Command-C and Command-V continue to include the complete text.

Description
Description
File with 19 lines of text - when trying to capture all via the Command-A key sequence, only the first 18 lines are highlighted. However, after copying via Command-C and pasting via Command-V, all of the lines are pasted. So all the lines are being selected, but not all the lines are highlighted.
To Reproduce
- Open any existing file or create a new file
- Enter a few lines
- Press Command+A to attempt to highlight all text
- Press Command+C to copy the text
Expected Behavior
Pressing Command-A should highlight all text in the open editor window
