Requirement: Text selection using SelectionArea widget when there are multiple textspans and widgetspans.

I know that text selection works well with textspans. But in my case I have widgetspan along with text spans due to which selection is not working properly.

I have a builder method that returns an InlineSpan so I can only use textspan and widgetspan.

SelectionArea(
child: Text.rich(
TextSpan(
children:[
WidgetSpan(
child: Container(
padding EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: SizedBox(),
)),
TextSpan(text: 'Hello world'),
WidgetSpan(
child: Container(
padding EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: SizedBox(),
)),
]
)));

why don’t you put the padding around the textspan and remove the widgetspan?

Actually this is just an example, in my case the outer textspan has 3 children, widgetspan, textspan and a widgetspan.
In actual code the widgetspans are used for some box decoration.
