Cursor Jumps Around In Text Boxes #27

Open jmwright opened 6 years ago

jmwright commented 6 years ago

I've noticed this other times, but the instance that triggered me to create this issue was when editing a thread. Sometimes as I type, the cursor will jump back to the start of the text in the box by itself. I don't experience this in other applications. I'm not sure if there's some Javascript monitoring what's being typed that's interfering or what.

Here's a screencast I captured of the issue occurring. In the initial post I mentioned it happens while editing an issue, but that's incorrect. I'm just posting a comment to the thread in the screencast. I don't think the problem is isolated to just text boxes for thread comments though.

Notice that the 'e' in "are" is dropped and the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the line to start "changes". This happens consistently for me, always within 2 sentences.

I'm running the latest version of Stemn-Desktop on Ubuntu 17.10.

I just noticed that if I slow my typing speed down this issue goes away.

Thanks for the great video demo! We have experienced this in 'development mode', but have not reproduced it in 'production mode'. Now that we are aware it affects production, we will change the way we handle input to avoid this issue - slowing down typing isn't a tenable solution :) Thanks for reporting.
