Either allow typing in Chrome when the connection is open, or disable the textarea until it's disconnected about ghosttext-for-chrome HOT 3 CLOSED

I think it's a problem with the selection/cursor if the selection is disabled everything work fine on both sides:

var minMaxSelection = GhostText.getMinMaxSelection(response.selections);
//textAreaDom.selectionStart = minMaxSelection.start;
//textAreaDom.selectionEnd   = minMaxSelection.end;

Maybe the live selection has just to be disabled since it is causing more trouble without any benefit?

You're right about the lack of benefits (except that it's cool). It's strange that the behavior is only there until you type something in ST, then it works normally.

I made a quick fix, when sublime text now receives a text change the cursor will be set to the end of the text in ST self.view.sel().add(sublime.Region(text_length, text_length)) this fixes this strange behavior since sublime text seems to select the whole text when the views contents gets replaced…

Now it's working and we have still this coll live selection effect 😄 .
