Cursor position at the begining

In version 5.3.2 I am still experiencing the cursor always being positioned at the beginning of the text.

Repro

No need for the repro, just try it in the demo at https://react-select.com/home and set the focus on the first select field. I understand that there is a <span /> and a <div class="react-select__single-value" /> field overlapping, but is there really no solution for this?

UX is a little bit funny when you expect to be able to edit the text but in reality it's empty text... I found old related issues but they are quite old so I thought I'd give it a try again with a new one. Thx
