1 year ago This is an intentional behavior so that user can see what was changed by undo.
As an alternative we can restore the selection to the place it was before undo. That is after inserted text, if it was removed by backspace, before if it was removed by delete, and select, if user have selected a range and typed or pressed delete, over the selection. And it would make multiple selections if delete was done by multiple selections.
Would this behavior work for you, or do you expect the cursor to always be after the inserted text?

Describe the bug
hello friends,
and i thank you for the great editor. i have to report something that i think should work better.
if i delete some text and undo the action, the text is being pasted, chunk by chunk, to the place it was at. the problem is, that the last pasted chunk remains "selected", so that the next character we type would overwrite that chunk.
thanks for your attention, alex
Expected Behavior
i would suggest, that undo will clear the selection of the undone chunk. if the user wants to, he may redo the deletion.
Current Behavior
the last chunk pasted by undo remains selected, so it gets overwritten by the next typed characters.
Reproduction Steps
type => result text
abc => abc backspace => ab ^z => abc d => abd
Possible Solution
clear text selection after undo.
