Scrivener deselects text after formatting changes

I love Scrivener, but it’s really starting to wear on me due to the longtime unfixed bugs which break formatting when moving between windows and macos, I frequently have to fix formatting errors. This becomes quite annoying on macos as when I make some changes (like adding/changing bullets and numbers) Scrivener deselects the highlighted text. Usually this is hundreds of words. I then have to scroll up and down and highlight everything again.

  1. Is there some option or way to keep Scrivener from deselecting text?
  2. Are the eternal formatting bugs when switching between platforms ever going to be fixed? I feel duped as I was advertised and purchased a multiplatform product which i could switch between at my leisure. But it’s really not. At least not without tons of reformatting and fixes every time I switch platforms.
