Requests: Cursor keeps getting repositioned when writing comments about invenio-app-rdm HOT 5 CLOSED

I didn't understand the browser part: Firefox 127.0.2 (not to be confused with localhost) on Linux.

That was a reference to his version of Firefox. The version number 127.0.2 looks like a local network IP of the 127.0.X.Y variety.

If you type out a long comment 255 chars+ (much longer than just "asdfgadfs" and no new lines). Do you get the same behaviour?

I didn't understand the browser part: Firefox 127.0.2 (not to be confused with localhost) on Linux. However, I tested it on both Chrome and Firefox, and it seems like I am unable to reproduce the issue with the timer.

However, as you can see in SR, when pressing enter, the new line appears at the top. When placing the cursor at the end, it jumps to the top, and this doesn't seem to be related to the timer.

A temporary workaround is to paste the text as is from another source, or click on "Insert Code," write your text, cut it, and then paste it back.

• code text highlighting is lost when clicking save.

Testing on Linux: Pop_OS.

Got it now Firefox version 127.0.2, not your local IP! 😅

Okay, Using Firefox 127.0 (released on June 11, 2024) and Chrome 126.0.6478.126 (not to be confused with my IP address ;) as the issue is browser-agnostic, I tested with a long comment (255+ characters, single line).

The cursor only jumps when pressing enter, as I mentioned earlier.
I've also noticed that it loses focus randomly, as seen in the SR when clicking and pressing space rapidly also not related to the timer.

Any ideas on the cause @fenekku ?

Ugh... I am still thinking it has to do with the textarea being re-rendered by React. It's a known problem that the cursor position will be lost in those situations unless kept in the state or using a Ref (:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: ). If it's not (only) the 5s timer causing re-renders, but perhaps other events that would explain it. I am working on something else so perhaps a React expert could chime in.
