Selected text not overwritten when new typing begins

When I select a line of text, normally it would get deleted/overwritten when typing a new line of text, but when I select text in Firefox and begin typing again, it simply deletes the first word in the selection and keeps the rest. Is there a setting to have ALL text selected deleted/overwritten when new text is entered? Selecting one word overwrites the whole word but when an entire line to be deleted is selected, only the first word is deleted and typing begins where that word ends.

Hi,

Do you still experience the issue?

Hi there,


Yes, constantly. It occurs not just during typing and text deletion but also formatting. If a line of text is selected and underline formatting is chosen, for example, only the first word of the selected sentence is underlined and the rest of the sentence then becomes unselected. I have to re-select the line and re-format all of it or delete all of it.

Got it. Which Firefox version are you using?

I am currently on version 150.0.1!

Oh, sorry, for some reason I thought you were on Android (where we had a related issue)... But I managed to realize that you're on macOS now xD

Could you please try running Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode and see if the issue persists?

Unfortunately the issue still persists in troubleshoot mode. If I could upload a short clip it would make more sense! There are no particular problem sites where it happens as it is all over the web.
