The problem here is that all the text in the field is selected when you go to it, so typing will replace the entire contents, instead of appending at the cursor. The other is with the window in the background, where you can see the highlight colour.

I see nothing wrong there.

As I wrote, when you select a text field, the selection color is blue.
that's the default Qt mac style and there's not much you can do about
it.

The way the text is deleted when you start typing is also how the Qt
widget works. Because the text is actually fully highlighted first. So
it does the same as if you had double clicked on a word to select it
and type say 'a'. The whole word would be replaced with a.
If you want to modify the text and not replace it you need to move the
cursor first to remove the text selection.
The problem is that the Qt widget doesn't show this properly.

It's the same behaviour as in linux and windows, and the way it's been
behaving for years (and I always found it annoying but not much I can
do)

All I changed is that the text used to have a blue background with a
black font, making it unreadable. I made the text white instead

You need to compile the MySQL plugin, which doesn't come with the
binary package. To compile the plugin, you need the full Qt source
code
