Problem with selecting multiple paragraphs of text in apple books app to add notes or highlight text (iPadOS 18.3)

When reading many ePub books in the Apple Book app, the ability to select multiple paragraphs at once to take notes or highlight them has disappeared. I noticed that after the update, you can now select one paragraph, but if you drag the selection further, it disappears (if you drag up, a zoom may appear, if down, nothing). At the same time, if you return the selection to the first paragraph without releasing your finger, the selection within this paragraph remains. This problem is observed both on the iPad mini 7 and the iPad Pro 11 M1. Both devices have been updated to iPadOS 18.3. I tried to open the same book on the iPad Pro 11 2018, which still has iPadOS 17.6, and there is no such problem. Everything work fine. Also, there is no such problem on the iPhone 14 Pro and MacBook Pro 14 M1 Pro. I can highlight several paragraphs at once and there are no such problems. Please note that the problem does not affect all books, but a fairly large number of those that I tested. There was no such problem before.

I am attaching a video to illustrate the problem:

I hope you will fix this bug, because after the updates the application on iPads started to work worse.
