Beginner Question. Navigating Cursor in RStudio doesn't work as intended

Hello,

I am new here and I am already sorry if such a question already exists and I was not able to properly search for it. Maybe due to a lack of language proficiency as I am not a native English Speaker.

Describe your Problem:

rstudio

My Quality of life problem: When i click with my mouse in a certain spot of a line in the script window, it only places my cursor there if i click precisely between two characters. When i click slighty next to the space inbetween or right on a character, my cursor automatically jumps to the former line as seen in my gif above.
I guess this may be by design, but I feel more comfortable with how it works in e.g Word, where I don't face such a nuisance. Is there a way stop it from jumping to the former line?

What I expected:
That my cursor lands in the right proximity of the character where i clicked with my mouse and that my cursor doesn't jump to the former line in the console

System:
RStudio Version 1.4.1106 Tiger Daylily for Windows
Windows 10 64 bit

Hopefully you understood my question. Thank you for your answers in advance.
