I can shift-click to select all of the lyrics between the current selection and the shift-clicked element, but not with the final word of the piece. I can select any other range, but not the last word.

For example, I attached a simple sheet with four notes and the lyrics "this is a test." I can click on 'this' and shift-click 'a' to select 'this is a'. But if I click 'this' then shift-click 'test.', only 'test.' is selected.

Found in version 3.6.2.548021803.

Yes, I have noticed this too, but never got around to filing the report, so thanks for that. The feature works by first creating a range selection and then doing a select all similar in range, but apparently the range selection fails.

This would be a pretty easy fix for a prospective GSoC student.
