Unable to highlight text from right to left

Since the beta update yesterday, I am no longer able to highlight text from right to left anywhere in WME. I can only highlight text from left to right. I am using Chrome on Mac. Is anyone else able to reproduce this?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. In any text field while holding left click, drag the mouse right to left over the text

No Problems with Chrome Version 130.0.6723.117 on Windows. But this is not the newest one.

Hi BeastlyHaz,

Thanks for the report. I’ve managed to reproduce it too. I’ve filed an internal issue for this.

This bug is now reproducible in Prod WME so the post has been moved to the WME Production Bugs forum.

:thinking:This problem seems to be experienced only by MAC users, if it still persists. Because I am a Windows 11 + Chrome user and I don’t have this problem.

Indeed @Max_Booster thanks a lot for your observation! I checked on my Windows device and it’s working perfectly fine there. Nevertheless, the internal ticket is still being worked on. I’ll let you know when there is an update and hopefully good news for MAC users.

Kind regards,
Olesya
