+## [1.14.11] — 2026-07-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **Clicking a name inside a paragraph's text silently retargeted the assign popup to that paragraph** — misleading when you open "Assign to" on one (e.g. Unknown) paragraph, then click a name mentioned in a *different* paragraph just to reuse it: the popup would jump to and highlight that other paragraph instead of staying on the one you meant to fix. Now, while a popup is already open, clicking a name elsewhere only fills the search box — it no longer changes which paragraph gets assigned. Clicking a paragraph's own speaker label still always retargets it, as does clicking a name inside a paragraph when no popup is open yet.
