[ Note - this is reported for single-line field - this doesn’t mean it’s different for multi-lin, just that I haven’t tried that yet :-]
The behaviour on clicking into a single-line field is incorrect (or at least, non-standard for Mac).
-
Clicking within the field positions the input cursor at the start of the field, rather than at the clicked position.
-
A subsequent (immediate) click then positions the input cursor properly.
BUT - moving the mouse then switches the input cursor back to the start ?!? -
Holding down ‘shift’ while moving input cursor with the arrow-keys does not always select the traversed text - sometimes it does, but not always. A similar ‘sometimes but not always’ occurs for shift-clicking within the text - simetimes it selects the intervening text, not always.
-
extending the selection is different from Mac standard.
- double click on a word in the middle of the text - it is selected.
- then shift-click to the right - selection extends from original word to include new position
- shift-click to the left - selection extends from the rightmost all the way back to the new leftmost clicked position (Mac standard would be to select from the originally selected word to the new leftmost).
- cmd-Y appears to do a “paste” command.
