Text Backwards in Text Field Component

Ignition
1

I have a Text Field component that is exhibiting very strange behavior: When I type into the field, it adds each character to the front of the string instead of the end like you'd expect (and how they normally work). I can't see any properties that would do this, but it is only happening with one text box; my other Text Field components are unaffected.

Is there a hidden property that I accidentally messed with to cause this, or could it just be a strange bug? In the end, I can delete it and replace it with a different Text Field component that's working, but it has me curious, and I'd like to know in case it comes up again.

It occurred to me about 5 seconds after posting this that the combination of Defer Updates and a Bidirectional tag binding would cause the tag to update each time I type a character and would position the cursor at the beginning of the string instead of at the end. This would create the effect of typing backwards.

I'll leave this post up in case someone else is confused by this behavior in the future.
