Hi,

I found an irritating thing.

If you've want to replace some of the text in a text field, you select the text you want to replace and start typing in what you want instead.

Normally that result in this;
1. the selected text is deleted, and the rest of the text is moved to the left (to cover the gap of the deleted text)
2. the cursor positions it self between the last character before, and the first character after, the previously selected text
3. from there it starts to insert the new characters typed in

But in AMM 6.0 (b1300) this happens;
1. the selected text is deleted, and the rest of the text is moved to the left (to cover the gap of the deleted text)
2. the cursor positions it self where the last character in the previously selected text ended (before it was deleted), which is somewhere in the text after the previously selected text
3. from there it starts to insert the new characters typed in

This means that if you don't click in the correct position before typing, you totally mess up the text.

Example:
the text says: 'THE ORIGINAL TEXT IN THE FIELD'
you select: 'ORIGINAL'
you type: 'NEW'
you expect to end up with: 'THE NEW TEXT IN THE FIELD'
but instead you get: 'THE N TEXT IEWN THE FIELD'
because where the 'L' ended is now in the middle of 'IN', after it's been moved to the left

Please fix this!

Yeah, I can confirm the above.

Strange that a bug like that wasn't caught in the release test?

Is this a new bug in 6.0, or does it exist in previous version(s) too?

Yeah, got it - we'll try to fix it.
