Cursor in the Description metadata field does not stay where I put it

Using Bridge 15.0.4.534 on a MacBook Pro M3 Max 16" (Nov 2023) running MacOS Sonoma 14.7.6. I have written some text in the Description field (IPTC Core) that applies to a set of images but want to add individual metadata info in the middle of what is already there. When I click where I want to edit the text often, but not always, the cursor jumps to the end of the text after a moment. Same behaviour in the Metadata panel and in the Metadata window that opens with Command-I. Not a big issue but still irritating.
