Description
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

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cursor behavior in the react-select demo at https://react-select.com/home, focusing the first select field as described. Read the related older issues and the comment discussion before locating the select input and overlapping span/single-value elements. Done means the focused field places the cursor where expected and preserves an understandable editing experience.
