Hi @WhiteHsu, the title of the board uses input element that is why it knows how to position the cursor on focus.

Description of the board is a lot more complex because it is rendered as html coming from markdown editor. So determining the position of the cursor is not that trivial. Specifically there is an html preview when the editor is not even active, so during the click on html preview the editor is created and this is the moment when the cursor position can be set properly.

Thanks for the guidance @kamre ! Will look into it accordingly. :D
