Hi,
I don't think there is enough info to exactly reproduce the behaviour shown in your video, as when you complete the task, it does not get a done date added, which means I do not think that Tasks is doing the completion - and therefore Tasks would not be changing the cursor position.
Did you turn off the Tasks setting for adding Done date when completing a task?
Do you have a global filter enabled? If so, what is it please?
Yes, I have disabled adding the done date when checking the task in the setting.
I don't have a global filter
Here are my settings :
Thank you. Please could you run the command Show debug info

Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.
I believe what is happening is that #1103 fixed the cursor position when the command Tasks: Toggle task done
is run to toggle the command. All the code for calculating cursor positions is in src/Commands/ToggleDone.ts
.
However, when the command is toggled in Live Preview by clicking on the checkbox, the cursor position jumps to the beginning of the line. When toggling a task in Live Preview, the code is in src/LivePreviewExtension.ts
- and it does nothing to retain the cursor position.
For developers: there is a write-up of how Tasks handles state changes in:
For now, if this is inconveniencing you, the workaround to keep the cursor in the same position is to bind a hotkey to the Tasks: Toggle task done
command and use that to toggle the task on the line where the cursor is.
I'm afraid this is in a complex area of the code, and not likely to be something that will be fixed soon, unless anyone volunteers to help.
Please check that this issue hasn't been reported before.
Expected Behavior
When checking a task and the cursor is in the same line, the cursor should stay in its place.
Current behaviour
When checking a task and the cursor is in the same line, the cursor changes place by itself.
