When you select, is the last line highlighted to the end of the line ?
If so, you have selected the newline.

To avoid selecting the last newline, when selecting hold the shift key 
and press the left arrow.
The highlight should then terminate at the end of the text instead of 
end of line, indicating that the newline is no longer selected.

Conversely, if you want to ensure that the newline is selected, 
sometimes one must press the right arrow so that the entire line is 
highlighted.

Note that many other applications show the cursor at the beginning of 
the next line when the newline is selected.
Personnally, I think Zim's display is more coherent, although it can be 
confusing at first.
