macOS 15.1 WKWebView not allowing user to contract a text selection

We have an iOS app (which runs on macOS via "Designed for iPad") which renders web content on WKWebView. Our users can select text (standard OS way of click & drag cursor across text) and then perform actions on those discrete pieces of text.

On macOS 15.1, our users can only expand a text selection, they cannot contract the text selection by dragging the cursor to the left. This reduces the usability of our app on macOS 15.1. This is not an issue on macOS 14.

Environment: MacBook Pro (2021 16” M1 Max), macOS 15.1
