Bug reports should be sent to the Emacs bug tracker, preferably by
using report-emacs-bug.  If Ihor indeed told you to post this here, I
think he made a mistake.

If you can try the latest master branch of the Emacs Git repository,
perhaps this is now improved (not sure).

In any case, this will need a developer who knows about selections on
macOS.  Can anyone look into this, please?
