problem is when people keep finger slanted while part of finger is touching the first option, that option gets selected. a blue highlight shos its selected. it should all be black. try holding with finger more or so parallel to screen. you will never repeat your problem. if blue highlight is there then ur finger needs to be less slanted. hope this helps
But... that is exactly how it works It can also work by holding your finger/stylus on list and select on release. The thing is I always worked it by lifting finger/stylus and tapping to select
