Hi @aurelz. The Arduino IDE developers are tracking this bug in the Serial Monitor here:

Serial monitor selection range shifts chaotically upon scroll

topic: code type: imperfection topic: serial monitor

### Describe the problem When selecting text on the serial monitor (with the co…nnected device paused) upon scroll the range of the selection shifts in unpredictable patterns (at least i didn't see a reproducable pattern) which prevents selecting more then one page of the output. As of #812/#105 using ctrl+a is also not an option to select text in that tab. As i do not have the problem of new text triggering a redraw which removes the selection, i do not consider this a duplicate of #812/#105, but feel free to correct me. ### To reproduce * print multiple pages text on the serial monitor once e.g. in the setup() function. * when all text is received select a bit of it * scroll the output up and down a bit ### Expected behavior The selection should stay between the first and last selected characters, and not randomly jump around. ### Arduino IDE version 2.0.0-rc7-nightly-20220615 ### Operating system Windows ### Operating system version 10.0.19044.1706 Pro ### Additional context My Nightly Build is 4 days old, but the 3 commits since then do not have any relations to this issue. ### Issue checklist - [X] I searched for previous reports in [the issue tracker](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues?q=) - [X] I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest [nightly build](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide#nightly-builds) - [X] My report contains all necessary details
