Sublime Text echoes the same received text

[fregante]

This happens in any field in any browser. ST responds with the same data as soon as you type something in the browser

This issue is currently avoided by ignoring any updates from the editor when the browser is focused, but it should still be fixed in Sublime Text.

Can you open a PR on https://github.com/GhostText/GhostText-for-SublimeText?

[subnut]

I tried it, it doesn't work :disappointed:

[subnut]

Can you please grant me push access to that repo? I will do my changes in a new branch. If the code seems OK, and I am able to understand how sublime plugins work, I will take up the responsibility of maintaining that plugin.

You can submit a regular PR and merge it once it works
