Research direction

No source file or test is named in the report. First reproduce the issue in Visual Studio Code 1.131.1 with the Monaspace Frozen Argon, Krypton, or Radon fonts and font ligatures enabled, then compare left-arrow behavior with ligatures disabled. Done means typing < produces the expected paired > behavior and the cursor moves in front of > rather than back in front of <.

Description

<> paired forced typed which don't need to get ligature for <

at that time, prompt cursor never get back to front of one character > but front of < if user try to type left arrow key.
Anyway, that works properly if turn off "font ligature" option.
