Text expander works at every position. Check the Ending characters in Preferences/Text Expander or reset the Preferences to defaults.

Maybe I'm not clear enough

I mean, when you use the arrow key move into the middle of the text, the text expansion fails, but you can use the mouse click into the middle of the text and then use the trigger word, which is available

It works for me. If I type a text and then move to the left using left arrow key, text expander still works.

Try to reset the Preferences.

I tried exactly the same ";fa" string with Trigger Immediately option, moving to the middle of the word with the up arrow key and it works for me.
Try resetting the Preferences to defaults.

I tested again in Win11 and it works for me. Could you share the item settings? Did you reset ALL Preferences? Could you try in Notepad?
