Clicking on a zero-width node and dragging does not select text
See original GitHub issueWhat’s the current behavior?
Clicking on an empty paragraph or next to a inline link (both have data-slate-zero-width nodes) and then dragging to select text only moves the cursor and does not select text.
What’s the expected behavior?
I should be able to click and drag anywhere on the document to select text.

Seems like this was fixed at some point, but the bug is back in 5.x and reproducible on all of the demos.
@ianstormtaylor I think you are right. I commented out the updateSelection and then the problem does not happen.
