Originally assigned to: @LucasXu0, @asjqkkkk on GitHub.

Bug Description

Selecting a word and overwriting it by typing in the keyboard results in more text being deleted beyond what was selected.

How to Reproduce

Write a small paragraph
select a word in it
type new text over it

Expected Behavior

Only the selected text should be replaced.

Operating System

Windows 10

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.8.8

Screenshots

Additional Context

Overwriting a selected text at the end of a line just deletes the text, without inserting the new character.
Overwriting selected text with the same initial letter is, for some reason, okay.
Deleting selected text is also okay.
Pasting in selected text is also okay.

I was also able to reproduce it in v0.8.7, but didn't try on older versions.
