Likewise: not fixed in 9.0.5.0 - perhaps another illustration

The problem occurs in numerous areas where text strings are edited. For me, the Places table is where I find the most inconvenience. The following illustrates the problem (obvious workarounds exist but this is a simple example).

I have a Place with an incorrect county. I should be able to double click on the county in error, delete it, and type in the correct county (yes, I could over key the bad county but it doesn’t display the problem). Example:  
 ![Cursor1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/rootsmagic/original/2X/2/248fedbf9af424c7bdc95bfc0d3a9fda7368cf9f.jpeg)

Double click on the county name:  
 ![Cursor2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/rootsmagic/original/2X/4/49309edba360f81e631c638577f02ae108c7526e.jpeg)

Delete the highlighted county name and note where the cursor is. It was not adjusted for the removed text. Example:  
 ![Cursor3](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/rootsmagic/original/2X/9/96547d0748c031dc6cff7795e123398e4de2e0c1.jpeg)

The cursor should have been positioned at the beginning of the removed area so I could simply have typed in the new county. It should have been here:  
 ![Cursor4](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/rootsmagic/original/2X/7/746c693c6a20d2c3b0cbbe38d6ffdf59eef4a310.jpeg)

Let me know if this is adequate for the develpers.

Thanks for all the great work!
