Cursor Jumps to End in Text Fields: New Bug Reported

Experiencing a new bug in text fields. That, no matter what, the cursor is always jumping to the end of the text, making it unnecessarily hard to change text anywhere else (start, middle, anywhere but the end basically)

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the cursor in text fields. This behavior isn't normal and could be a bug in our system. Our team is constantly working on improving the user experience, including text editing functionality. In the meantime, you might find our data cleaning and normalization tools helpful for managing text data more efficiently. These tools can help with tasks like removing extra whitespace and standardizing text formats. For a quick fix, you could try using the "Remove Extra Whitespace from Text" formatter, which eliminates unnecessary spaces, tabs, and line breaks. This might help in managing your text more easily until we resolve the cursor issue. Is there a specific type of text or field where you're encountering this problem most often? This information could help us better understand and address the issue.
