When I type this text into a chat, keyboard navigation works (arrow keys, home/end keys, ctrl+arrow keys, shift+arrow keys) but text selection via mouse does not. Feels like a bug to me.

I know at least once recently I was able to select text via mouse, so it doesn't seem consistently broken to me. This is 0.1.2 on Linux running from a binary.

Yup this is a bug. There are actually two bugs with this text field:

Mouse selection doesn't work
Editing already written text is buggy (adding a space doesn't work for example)

I believe both are caused by the routines that are used to make emoji work in the text field (it's trimming too optimistically and always setting the cursor to the end of a block)
