`I` honestly `can't` figure out `any` rhyme `or` reason `for` how `the` `micro` **Edit** `button` works (the one where you select text in your published post and an **Edit** button pops up). Sometimes selecting a single whole word opens the popup micro editor, and sometimes it opens the complete post editor. Same goes for selecting multiple words or multiple partial words. Any suggestions or explanations? Thanks!

_ **Edits:** _ In the sentence _I honestly can’t figure out any rhyme or reason for how the micro Edit button works_ I selected each word individually and hit the popup **Edit** button and put the word in `monospaced` text when it took me to the full editor.
