Flutter – move curser to the end of text field

Hi I have a problem moving cursor to the end of the text inside text form field while using RTL languages like Farsi. When I move the cursor to the end (position n), suddenly it jumps to one character before the end (n-1).
I’ve searched every where and found similar issue here (Flutter textfield Flutter RTL cursor position problem n-1) but the solution didn’t work.
I have attached a video of the problem.enter image description here

    Put this code in onTap function in TextField:

    onTap: () {
  if (controller != null) {
    if (controller!.selection == TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: controller!.text.length - 1))) {
      controller!.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: controller!.text.length));
    }
  }
},

    You can fix this by registering a listener and watch over the cursor position.

    @override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  _textEditingController.addListener(() {
    if (_textEditingController != null) {
      if (_textEditingController.selection == TextSelection.fromPosition(TextPosition(offset: _textEditingController.text.length - 1))) {
        _textEditingController.selection = TextSelection.fromPosition(
          TextPosition(
            offset: _textEditingController.text.length,
          ),
        );
      }
    }
  });
}
