Claim 36:
37. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 36, wherein the one or more programs comprise instructions, which when executed by the electronic device, further cause the electronic device to:
after detecting the second portion of the input by the input object and moving the first edge relative to the second edge in response to the second portion of the input, detect a third portion of the input by the input object, including detecting that the input object no longer meets the proximity criteria;
in response to detecting the third portion of the input by the input object:
in accordance with a determination that the input object no longer meets the proximity criteria because the input object has exited a proximity range relative to the content selection object, restore the first edge of the content selection object to the location of the first edge before the first edge was moved in accordance with the lateral movement of the input object; and
in accordance with a determination that the input object no longer meets the proximity criteria because the input object has moved to a location corresponding to a surface in which the selected content is displayed, confirm content selection between the first edge and the second edge of the content selection object.
