Cursor jumps to top of editor when typing

[211217613]

This has been present for a lot of versions.

Whenever I'm typing text into the text window the cursor will automatically jump back to the beginning of the doc. Right now it happened while I was adding bullet points. I'll type text then the cursor automatically jumps to the beginning of the code editor window. I then manually move the cursor back to where I was typing and the bug repeats

Environment

Joplin version: Joplin 2.12.18 Platform: MacOS (prod, darwin) OS specifics:

Steps to reproduce

1. Type
2. Continue typing
3. cursor jumps to row 1 col 1 of the editor. Move the cursor down to where you want to add text
4. type
5. continue typing
6. cursor jumps up to row 1 and col 1 again

I've also been experiencing this, but very rarely...

One possible cause is that remote changes to a note are fetched and decrypted. Currently, NoteEditor.tsx unloads the editor (then reloads it) while the current note is being decrypted.

Edit: After looking further at NoteEditor.tsx, I'm not sure that the above is true.

Does this issue happen when:

• encryption is enabled,
• changes are being synced, and
• both in the rich text and markdown editors?

~~If so, it's possibly caused by the above issue.~~

I do have encryption enabled, not sure if changes are being synced, i'm almost always in markdown mode.

I've noticed this issue as well; for me it seems to only happen when changes are being synced. I will be in the middle of typing something, the sync process starts, and at the end the cursor jumps to the top of the note -- and often the last word or two I typed is gone.

I don't have encryption turned on, and I am always using markdown mode.

This is still an issue

In some ways, the desktop app's new beta editor is structured differently from the main editor. As such, the bug might not be present in the new beta editor.

I updated Joplin and enabled the beta editor in settings. I'll update if I see this issue again.

I think it still happens in the beta editor, but I'll confirm next time it happens.

Hi,

Yesterday, while I was testing Joplin for the first time after importing my Evernote data, I noticed the problem in the rich editor.

I then installed a plugin (note tabs) and restarted Joplin, and the problem was no longer present. I'm also trying more and more to learn how to use the Markdown editor...

Here is my info if it helps:

Hi,

I still notice the problem from time to time, I have version 3.0.6. I use the Markdown editor exclusively (not beta). I will try to see if there are any conditions under which the problem occurs.

I also experience this exact problem. For me it happens extremely frequently, however it is tricky to reproduce. It makes it hard to use the program at all.
