Markdown widget does not support content modification by Grammarly

Open tonyketcham opened this issue 3 years ago • 11 comments

Describe the bug

Note: This could be an issue with Grammarly and not NetlifyCMS, but this is the only platform that I've experienced this issue with. It does not occur with any other markdown/ WYSIWYG/rich text editor I've used.

Text in the markdown widget is not updateable by Grammarly. Selecting the extension's suggested grammar fixes dismisses the error notification that the extension provides while not updating the content.

However, text input in other widgets works just fine with Grammarly.

Since a lot of writers and publishing editors often use Grammarly as part of their editorial workflow, this could be an annoyance or even accidentally introduce errors into content when the uncareful eye sees the error underline disappear after accepting the fixes proposed by Grammarly.

To Reproduce

  1. Have Grammarly installed
  2. Intentionally misspell something in a markdown block
  3. Choose the suggested fix
  4. Verify that the content doesn't update with the suggested fix

Expected behavior markdown widget content should be updatable by browser extensions.

Applicable Versions:

  • Netlify CMS version: [2.10.76]
  • Git provider: [GitHub]
  • OS: [macOS Catalina 10.15.7]
  • Browser version [Brave 1.17.73]
  • Node.JS version: [15]

Any updates on this issue? This seems to occur on both the latest versions of Netlify CMS and Grammarly.

Hi @igorradovanov, the best way to move this forward is to submit a contribution for it.

It happened to me also. Is it still under development?

@martinjagodic I tried to set up local development but I couldn't figure it out. I use WSL, and already tested node versions 19, 18, and 16. Can you give a hint on this?

Grammarly works for me until I add an editor component. Does anybody experience the same problem? Using Decap 3.0.12
