Thanks for filing- we're able to repro this as well. It looks like the macOS control is taking on some of the iOS behavior instead of being catered to desktop. Possible suspect is in rightMouseDown in RCTTextView.

Are there any plans for this to get fixed?

This is fixed by #1346 and will be included in our next major release (currently planned to be 0.70)
