Description
This is hrev57937+125, 64bit.
WebKit 621.1.8
HaikuWebKit 1.9.15
Selecting text is weird, see attached screencapture.
Also, when you type something then go back with cursor-left-key, the curser first moves one to the right, the starts going left, but when you start typing the new letter don't get inserted exactly where the cursor is blinking... Difficult to describe, screencapture attached.

FWIW, I reverted to haikuwebkit-1.9.14-1-x86_64.hpkg because editing a modest amount of text quickly becomes irksome...

I had a look at it yesterday. The caret position is computed from the string length. When measuring the entire string (when the caret is at the end), it uses the "simple" text rendering code path and things work fine.
When the caret is in the middle of the text, it switches to the "complex/advanced" rendering path, which is not fully implemented. I assume the wrong font ends up being used in that case, not matching the one that is rendered by the text drawing code.
The options are fixing the complex text rendering or finding a way to disable it.
