That URL isn't public so there's nothing I can do about it. It appears to be a CodeMirror field and it should work, I don't know why that happens.

May be something wrong happened.

URL/service is public, I just created a room https://code.yandex-team.ru/b00dda88-2737-4b5b-a63d-0bbe110948c6 and tested it from different IP/proxies.

Thank you for the link! I just tried it and it looks like the editor is buggy there, it should be fixed by Yandex.

For example, if you press ctrl+a to select everything, the selection is lost immediately. GhostText relies on this feature to select everything and replace it, that's why the text is just appended instead of being replaced.

What browser? I just checked this with Firefox & Chrome, and cannot confirm. "Ctrl-a" selection works OK.

But the bug still persists.

Every browser. This is Chrome. You can see that the first time I press ctrl+a it's reset, and maybe the next one stays… until the content is updated.

I just checked my code and it's using the simplest API possible, it's a plain .setValue call that should just replace the whole field’s content. I'm not manually selecting and replacing it like I said previously

My guess is that they hacked the CodeMirror code to implement concurrent multi-user edits, so it broke the regular API. A solution could be to transfer just the specific changed text from the editor, but that requires a rewrite of GhostText and that's not happening anytime soon, unfortunately.

Hmm. Something strange. I never see that «Ctrl-a reset» in browser window. See the demo with pure Chrome (Google Chrome 89.0.4356.6 dev) with no extensions except GhostText:

May be, but I cannot reproduce and report «Ctrl-A bug» for them…
