Before renaming method (state used for all cases)

Using
Eclipse SDK

Version: 2020-09 (4.17)
Build id: I20200902-1800

or

Version: 2020-06 (4.16)
Build id: I20200604-0540

(1) when working with two views on the same text (split pane, or cloned editor)
- select text in one view and move up with the left mouse button clicked where the target is in the other view
- then the text _before_ the source of moving is removed, instead of the source
- whereas moving within one pane, or down, or copying was OK

(2) similarly when renaming in-place (I renamed a method):
- moving the selection with the mouse to the left seems to work if it is the first occurrence and results in different unwanted text for later occurrences
- moving forward also did not result in the desired changed name in all cases

See the attachments for "before" and "after" states of a simple Java class with such text movements:

(1) moving the comment up, from right pane to left pane
(2a) move "Alpha" to before "Numeric" within the method name which is "isNumericAlpha"
(2b) move "Numeric" to after "Alpha" within the method name which is "isNumericAlpha"
