The cursor always moves to the beginning of the text, regardless of where you clicked

I was able to fix the error in my case by adding an empty onSelectionChange listener to my editor. The default listener has a bug! My fix: .onSelectionChange{ _ in }

Hey, thank you for posting this. Couple questions:

• I think what you're saying is when you tap HighlightedTextEditor's text editing area, the insertion point jumps to the beginning of the text, even if you tapped at the end of the text. Is that correct?
• Thank you for posting this sample code. Unfortunately your code references a lot of functions from elsewhere in your app, so I can't use it. Could you modify the sample below so it causes the error to happen?

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text: String = "first line\n\nsecond\n\nthird\n\nfourth"

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            HighlightedTextEditor(text: $text, highlightRules: .markdown)
        }
    }
}

I haven't been able to reproduce this bug yet.

Anywhere i clicked, and in the end, cursor moves to top of editor.In my case I was able to expect default behavior by adding empty listener. I'll try reproduce this bug.

This is a sample of the bug. You can reproduce this bug, if you will delete the empty listener onSelectedChange on line 133 here: https://github.com/WheelaStudio/Text-Editor-IOS/blob/main/TextEditor/TextEditorMain/ContentView.swift

Thank you for the video. Unfortunately, that doesn't help narrow it down.

In my previous reply, I asked if you could modify the sample below so it causes the error to happen. We need to do that in order to fix this bug.

struct ContentView: View {
    @State var text: String = "first line\n\nsecond\n\nthird\n\nfourth"

    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            HighlightedTextEditor(text: $text, highlightRules: .markdown)
        }
    }
}

I was able to reproeuce this issue with the following code

import SwiftUI
import HighlightedTextEditor

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var text = ""
    @FocusState private var focused

    var body: some View {
        List {
            Button("Done") { UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil) }
            HighlightedTextEditor(text: self.$text, highlightRules: .markdown)
                .focused(self.$focused)
                /// This
                .onChange(of: self.focused) { print($0) }
                /// Or this
                .toolbar {
                    ToolbarItem(placement: .primaryAction) {
                        if self.focused { }
                    }
                }
        }
    }
}

It seems that if .focused(FocusState) is used on the HighlightedTextEditor and the FocusState is used somewhere else, even if it's just read and not modified, the issue occurs.

Just to clarify, the issue is that the caret doesn't go to where the tap happened. Instead, it goes to either the beginning or the end in different situations for me.

And as mentioned in https://github.com/kyle-n/HighlightedTextEditor/issues/51#issuecomment-974717542, .onSelectionChange{ _ in } does fix the issue.
