Deleting text in a Frame, with a Field deletes all text in the frame

[jmcw]

-On Mac Publisher 2.3.0
The issue started happening about three updates ago

When deleting text within a Text Frame that contains a Field, the entire text in the frame is deleted, not just the highlighted text. 
The current workaround is to delete the field in the text frame and then highlight the text I would like removed. 

Is this a known bug? Is there a different workaround? 

In the attached screen shot, CLIENT-NAME is the field. If I was to delete what is highlighted, everything would be deleted.

Hi, this is a known bug with Publisher on macOS. You would have the same problem if you placed the cursor on the right side of the field rather than selecting the text. If you do that you'll see the cursor is non-blinking.

It's not just related to custom fields - if you place the cursor at the end of the field and see the non-blinking cursor and then click once elsewhere in the text to move the cursor, it will still be non-blinking and pressing delete will delete the entire frame. And if you change a value in many panel fields, the cursor will change from blinking to non-blinking.

Fortunately, undo is one Cmd+Z away but this is a very annoying bug since it's so pervasive, I delete stuff by mistake several times every day so I hope this bug is fixed soon.
