Multiple fields don’t work correctly at once #201

I just noticed a screencast in this article where having 2 fields select meant you could override both with a single editor tab. That’s now how it should work. 😰

This must be specific to the sublime text plugin. My plugin doesn't behave like that. It opens each field in new tab. See GIF -

EDIT: Maybe not, see my next comment

It’s a little strange because each field as its own websocket if I remember correctly, so this feels like messages would be mixed in the browser

@fregante Can you reproduce this issue using the Sublime text plugin? I just checked and the issue doesn't seem to occur at all. It behaves as intended!

It seems that the video in the article uses Atom, which is similar to the VS Code plugin as well. I haven’t had time to replicate

ST seems to work correctly, but VS Code is super buggy in every way:

the connection doesn't close when closing the editor’s tab, you have to close the whole window
closing the editor tab will lose the textarea content altogether
enabling 2 fields will work for a moment, but then it will stop as you switch back and forth

So it appears that it's an issue with Atom and VS Code. Closing this issue here
