Hi Chris,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please try the following steps?

- Check your Mac’s System Settings > Displays and try a different scaling option (e.g. “Default” or an alternative scaled resolution).
- If you are using an external monitor, disconnect it temporarily to test whether the issue persists.
- Restart EverWeb after making these changes.
- If you are using an older version of EverWeb, please try updating to the latest version of EverWeb. Older EverWeb versions may respond differently on newer macOS versions.

If the issue persists, you may open a support ticket and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

You can open a ticket here:

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Best Regards

I'm curious if this was ever resolved as I'm seeing what sounds like the same thing.

I've resorted to using the arrow keys to move the cursor to the correct place in text and using shift-arrow to select specific text.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for posting.

Could you let us know which version of EverWeb and macOS you are using?

Also, please try the latest EverWeb beta to see if the issue persists there, as it may include improvements related to cursor positioning.

If the issue still occurs, a short screen recording showing the cursor offset while editing text in EverWeb would be very helpful. Please open a support ticket or share a link to the recording us so we can investigate further.

Best regards,
J.S.

Funny, I went to the Bug Fix Forum for the same thing. Could not use cursor, or even see it in the text box to select bits of text. Even copied text over to macOS Pages to edit it there, copied it back with same problems.
As suggested, I disconnected from my external display (Dell 3818DW) and found zero problems editing on my M5 MBA (Tahoe). Reconnected to the Dell and problem returned. Following your methodology, I changed from default resolution (3840x1600) to next lower (3008x1253), quit Everweb, restarted and could then see the cursor, just not able to select to the exact location by one or two spaces. I down-selected to the next lower resolution (2560x1067) and all text select problems were gone.
So, this fixed my problem, although I would rather operate with my Dell at its higher default resolution, it's doable for now.
P.S. Using Everweb 4.4.3 on macOS 26.5.1. Also, Dells are flakey with Macs, I just like the size, resolution and the curved screen.
