Bug Report

Steps to reproduce:
I have seen this on a few random sites but mostly on BING (don't laugh)

Enter a search in the search bar and hit return, the search loads.
Now position the cursor at the beginning of the search term and start typing

Expected behavior:
The entered text should be prepended to the search term.

Instead, after the first character the cursor jumps to the end of the search term and additional text is entered there.

Orion/macOS:

Mac OS 10.15.7

    This also happens if you place the insertion point in the middle of the text and not just at the beginning.
    (Sorry I didn't test for that earlier)

      SR Unable to reproduce. Can it be caused by an extension?

          Tried with no extensions, same issue. I'll try to find some other sites this happens on.

            I hope this makes it clearer. It doesn't happen every time but it drives me nuts. I'm pressing only the dot and delete keys, the cursor is one character too forward but sometimes is two and it's a real pain.

              Thanks for the video. Are there steps to reproduce this on any site?

                The only site I happened to notice this issue is here, but I post on forums with Safari usually. No precise step to reproduce this, just click Reply and enter text. More often than not you'll notice the cursor lies a space forward compared where it should be and sometimes two. While writing this post everything went smooth, but yesterday I almost gave up suggesting a feature because it was a real mess.

                  I am still unable to reproduce. Not sure if it is a browser issue, extension issue or a site issue.
