Thanks for checking.
Yeah, selecting text acts odd with these exported PDFs in Preview. It’s like text is selected from the left of your insert point only. If you select right-to-left it kinda works (but still pastes backwards).
The solution seems to be here, but not sure if it was ever implemented; fell through the cracks with the move to 1.0, etc->
After some googling we believe this probably a combination of Chromium, the font that gets embedded, and Apple. With most of the blame likely on Apple. We invite you to file a bug report to Apple.
For the time being, we are going to revert to old font “Inter” just for printing as a workaround for this issue (0.15.10).
