Caret misbehaves when merging nodes in useLexicalTextEntity

[codingedgar]

I have the following regex to highlight durations (exactly like the hastashs plugin):

/(?:(^|\s))((?:\d+:)?[0-5]?\d:[0-5]\d)/

it matches 1:00 and 1:00:00

but the caret misbehaves

expected: 1:00:00|
actual: 1:00|:00

I think is this line of code:

lexical/packages/lexical-text/src/registerLexicalTextEntity.ts

Line 86 in 354d077

prevSibling.select();

But there are no tests, so I'm not sure what is the use of that line, is it safe to remove it? or is there any logic I'm missing?

I know the error does not happen if I change my regex to

/(?:(^|\s))((?:\d+:)?[0-5]?\d:[0-5]\d)(?=\s|$)/

Which matches 1:00 but not 1:00:

so it its a node and then its text and then a node again, but if I have a node that merges the caret changes

paragraph: 1:00:0 -> 1:00:00
