Impossible to navigate cursor on Mobile

Hey Guys,

I'm having issue with easy-markdown implementation for responsive version of the editor on mobile, So after adding some text if you move around the the texts it starts blinking on a word and make it impossible to move around any further.

Steps:

Open text editor on mobile
Add some long text
Try to navigate around through cursor
Repeat it for a while until a word gets highlighted and starts blinking
After that you wont be able to navigate around the text properly

Please if anyone can guide me on this.

Hey guys. Am facing similar issues here - https://github.com/RIP21/react-simplemde-editor/issues/205. Can someone help?

This is an underlying problem with the CodeMirror editor, there's numerous open issues relating to mobile use in their repo. Not something that is fixable on EasyMDE's end, unfortunately.

An update to CodeMirror 6 might solve the problems, that is part of https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor/issues/447 and will probably take a while longer.

Thank you @Ionaru for the reply. I can understand.

Couple of questions,

If someone wants to use code mirror v6 they can use it directly right?
Is there any other editor which we can use for the mobile use case if you are aware of it?
Another suggestion i received was to use react native + some markdown editor so that this issue could get rectified. Can u share ur thoughts on this?
