Find and Replace text boxes reverse text direction after selecting text with the cursor #9719
Description
Describe the Issue
In the find and replace section, when text is highlighted with a mouse, any further text comes out in the reverse direction. This happens in both the Find and the Replace text boxes.
It seems to specifically happen if the cursor goes outside the boundary of the Postman window; if I use CTRL+A or select the text without the cursor leaving the window, the text goes in the correct direction.
Steps to Reproduce
Add text to each textbox inside the Find and Replace section of Postman.
Highlight the text with a cursor and continue dragging past the boundary of the Postman window.
Start typing in the same box; on a LTR system, the text will be rendered RTL (e.g. if you type "backwards" , it will show as "|sdrawkcab" [the pipe symbol is the cursor]).
Screenshots or Videos
In the GIF, I do 3 selections:
- select with cursor and drag past the window
- select with cursor but stay within the window
- Use CTRL+A to select the text
Environment Information
- Platform Type: Desktop App
- Postman Version: v8.0.7
- Operating System: Windows 20H2 19042.804
Additional Context
I don't think I have any settings in Windows that might be causing this; I haven't observed similar behavior with other applications. It also seems to be limited to Find and Replace - other text boxes don't have the same behavior.
It's a minor bug, but a bit frustrating because I can't trust what is typed into the text boxes. I don't think it's unusual to drag the mouse past what is being selected either.
