On iOs APP using native Apple virtual keyboard with "Preditive Text edition", when taping the suggested word the cursor jumps to the end of text.

On iOs APP when typing on native virtual Apple Keyboard with Preditive Text edition: When we tap the "suggested word" the text cursor jumps to final text.

This behavior occours only in iOs. We reproduced it in iOs 17 version.

The images bellow shows such behavior:

Before taping on suggested word: The text cursor is just after the word "comum ".

Just After taping on suggested word "que": This word is correctly written on current cursor position, but just after the cursor jumps to the end of the text.

Important: The incidence of the problem has a somewhat random behavior: the error does not always occurs, but with some important frequency, when we touch the suggested word, the cursor will jump to the end of the text.

Bellow a simple code of the project:

public class MyApplication {

private Form current;
private Resources theme;

public void init(Object context) {
    theme = UIManager.initFirstTheme("/theme");
    Toolbar.setGlobalToolbar(true);
}

public void start() {
    if(current != null){
        current.show();
        return;
    }
    Form hi = new Form("Samsung Test TextArea", new BorderLayout());
    TextArea textArea = new TextArea();
    hi.add(BorderLayout.CENTER, textArea);        
    hi.show();
}

public void stop() {
    current = getCurrentForm();
    if(current instanceof Dialog) {
        ((Dialog)current).dispose();
        current = getCurrentForm();
    }
}

public void destroy() {
}

Anyone else observed this behavior ?
Any guidance or workaround would be welcome.

@shannah I think we need to surround the code with:

if ([textView respondsToSelector:selectedRange]) {
    ...
}
