Text Entry issue
I have come across an issue when trying to edit something I have already entered into a Text Entry box. If I place the cursor at the point I want to edit and start typing/deleting it jumps to the end and performs the action there. A recording can be seen below

Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi David,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this behavior. I tested it on my end and it appears to be a possible bug. I've opened a bug report so we can have our product team investigate the behavior. Here's a quick look at how we handle bugs for your reference.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we'll let you know if we have any updates to share!

Is there a resolution on this bug? I too have this problem. Thanks!
Hi Kenneth!
Sorry to hear you've also been affected by this issue!
Our development team is still looking into the bug that causes the text entry box cursor to enter into the wrong position in Storyline. I've added your voice to the bug report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is in place.
In the meantime, as a workaround, we suggest downgrading to Storyline 360 version 3.87.32265.0 or earlier, where this bug cannot be observed.
Thank you for your patience. Sorry if this has been slowing you down!

I noticed this problem while trying to answer someone's question post about specialized text input behavior. I also uncovered something else that may or may not be related. In responding to the user's question, I was using an event observer (in JS) to monitor the text input's value changes (input event). I did this before to do real-time evaluation of typed input. In a previous SL version, it all worked as expected (i.e., event handler dispatched after input value changes). In the current SL version, the event handler for the input event is actually dispatched BEFORE the value of the text input is updated, which is very odd. The input value doesn't update until at some point AFTER the event handler is called. I don't know if this relates to the text input cursor positioning issue, but it might if the delayed value update is affecting the selection attribute.
