Incorrect text selection in STM32CubeIDE on macOS

[pavich]

Hello,

I encountered an issue with text selection in STM32CubeIDE on macOS.

Environment:
- STM32CubeIDE version: (?????? ???? ??????, ????????? 1.15.0)
- macOS version: Tahoe 26.5
- Device: MacBook Pro 16" (Apple M4 Pro)

Issue:
Text selection behaves incorrectly. When selecting text using the trackpad or mouse, the highlighted area does not match the expected selection.

Observed problems:
- Selection jumps unpredictably
- Difficult to select continuous text
- Selection sometimes skips characters or lags

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any source file
2. Try selecting text using trackpad or mouse
3. Observe incorrect highlighting

Expected behavior:
Text selection should be accurate and follow cursor movement.

Actual behavior:
Selection is inconsistent and inaccurate.

Additional info:
This might be related to macOS trackpad gestures or Eclipse-based editor behavior.

Is this a known issue?

Best regards

There are a few threads on this. Here's one:

It's amazing that MacOS manages to break basic editing features between versions. Eclipse isn't the most refined piece of software, but surely developers shouldn't have to update basic functionality on each OS release.

Development on STM32CubeIDE is pretty much halted. I'd proceed with that in mind.
