Mouse click doesn't update cursor pos in transcribe text box #312

Closed camallen closed 8 years ago

camallen commented 8 years ago

Firefox only (it seems), when I mouse click in the transcribe text box does not update the cursor position. Keybindings work fine. Chrome works fine for both.

I'm also finding it's impossible to select text, in order to apply the Expansion, Insertion, Deletion etc. tags in FF 49.

Maybe that box should be using a textarea rather than div[contentEditable]?

rogerhutchings commented 8 years ago

IIRC it's using a div to enable the content inside to be styled, which you can't do with a textarea. Using the latter and showing the raw tags would be an option, but it would make the text input quite noisy

simoneduca commented 8 years ago

Adiv[contenteditable] was chosen to allow styling, which was required by Folger. Showing the raw tags, a la Annotate, does indeed look very messy in the case of SW, given the number of different tags. Not really sure how to fix this, but this might be it http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27093136/firefox-contenteditable-cursor-issue
