When replaceTextRange is called, if the current selection is after the replaced text then the selection is adjusted so that the same text is selected. However, the direction of selection is always modified to be left-to-right, even if the original selection was right-to-left. This means that if replaceTextRange is called while a selection is being made, the behavior is incorrect. If the selection is being dragged right-to-left, then modifying the direction causes the original selection to be lost entirely. This is easy to reproduce - call replaceTextRange while a selection is made after the replaced text. This happens on both Windows 10 and Mac OS X.
Do you have a test snippet handy, to reproduce this problem at our end ?
