  1. How to make sure that when changing the text in Editable Text, the cursor does not automatically move to the end of the line? For example, you click on a character in the middle of a line, delete, and the cursor runs to the end.

  2. How to remove the ability to select a line / part of a line by holding down the mouse button in Editable Text?

Hm, it does not? Are you manually shifting focus? Any script in OnTextChanged?

I believe you’d need to set it to Not Hit-Testable as isReadOnly merely prevents inputting. Other than that, you could try wrapping the editable text with a user widget and passing Unhandled in onMouseDown - untested, though; could work.

  1. Yeeeeees i have some code which is setting text by loope which is check every letter…

  2. I have some text marked by IsReadOnly and i can select it too.

Well, don’t do the thing that you do every letter or do it differently. And, as I said, isReadOnly will not work here.

Well, i tried to set it Not Hit-Testable but it also prevent inputting.
