Cursor goes back to the beginning of the message when switching tabs #7080

Closed turt2live closed 5 years ago

On riot.im/develop Chrome Windows 10:

Type some words
Click on a different tab
Go back to Riot
Notice your cursor isn't where you left it

So this is even weirder, sometimes its not at the beginning, I had it pop into the middle, it seems to be restoring the wrong selection state :/

There's suggestions this is related to #7036

Okay, on Windows 10 I reproduced (in each case 1. typing words, 2. switching browser tab, 3. returning to riot tab):

Firefox 63.0a1 (didn't note the date - didn't realise it might change independently of the version number ffs) 64bit - composer is unfocused
Firefox 63.0a1 (2018-07-24) 64bit - composer is focused and cursor stays where you left it
Chrome 67.9.3396.99 64bit - composer is focused and cursor reliably moves to start of composer
Chrome 68.0.3440.75 64bit - composer is focused and cursor stays where you left it

Also, fwiw, on my mac:

Chrome 67.0.3396.99 64bit - composer is focused and cursor stays where you left it
Firefox 63.0a1 (2018-06-28) (64-bit) - composer is focused and cursor seems to end up in different places depending on whether you've just sent a message, or whether you repositioned the cursor with the mouse before going to the other tab, or with the keyboard or on whether Math.random() > 0.8 😭😭😭💀💀💀

I've definitely been able to reproduce various brokennesses in the latest firefox, so I think this is not browser version specific. @turt2live do you have any more suggestions on how we can reproduce this reliably?

turt2live commented 6 years ago

while on Chrome 67.0.3396.99 (which while checking the version Chrome realized there's an update available - thanks chrome), all I had to do was switch tabs. It probably doesn't make a difference, but I was using the mouse to switch tabs.

Any chance this got fixed by various Slate updates?

turt2live commented 5 years ago

I can't reproduce it as easily as before, so assuming fixed. If it isn't fixed for someone, please comment here so this can be reopened.
