Video attached. Note where I'm clicking vs. where text appears.

    bribri Thanks. This is an issue related to Mojave and character not typing where the cursor was clicked. I think we have an issue already for that and I'd appreciate if you could find it so that I can merge.

          bribri Looks like this issue:

          Ooops, this link is circular?

          In any case, this issue is the biggest showstopper for me. I write a lot in forums, which often contain specific formatting characters such as []% or non-ASCII unicode characters, and this bug makes writing almost impossible.

          In fact, the mere quotation of []% triggers the issue in this very editor area.

            When selecting text in text boxes (including on this very site), the cursor/selection is often misaligned, frequently by several characters in a large text block. This makes it unusable for editing posts on a Wordpress site, for example.
