      Anyone notice on their Mac that when they select text and very quickly start typing the cursor ends up in the wrong place and what your typing comes out backwards?

      To reproduce i need to use mouse to select and start typing straight away.

      Never experienced this. Is it system-wide? Check your keyboard and region settings. Could also be a font problem.

      Maybe text fields in browsers...

      If you have a word and select it with the mouse from the end of word to the beginning and then just start typing straight away.

      Here is an example of it typing over itself after selection.
