Select Text In Grid Cell On Mac Not Working Correctly

[emhartner]

The issue happens when editing a grid cell in a TDBGrid.  When trying to select text with the mouse, it always starts the selection from the beginning of the cell.  If I start selecting in the middle and pull the mouse to the right, it will select text from the beginning of the cell up until where I started selecting.  Note that this does not happen on Windows - only on the Mac.  See attached video for a visual.

Note the the same happens in a TEdit.  Also note that when selecting with the keyboard it works fine.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you,
Eric

If you make a test in a form with a simple TEdit do you get the same result?

[emhartner]

Yes - I get the same result with a TEdit on a newly created project.

Version Info:
  Lazarus:  3.2
  FPC:  3.2.2
  Revision:  x86_64-darwin-cocoa

As this seems to be a bigger problem (also with TEdit), should I put in a bug tracker?

Thank you,
Eric
