length can be negative if text selection is made from right to left. Use
abs with
length or
count with
selectedText if string length is required.
start always indicates at what position in text the selection is started. The cursor position will always be at the end of the selection. So if selection is made from right to left the cursor position will be at the left end of the selection. In order to find cursor position add
start and
length together (see
