Editor jumps to end of file when navigating with physical arrow keys

[adib]

While editing a long Python file (~150 lines) on an iPad mini with an external keyboard, the editing cursor sometimes jumps to the end of the file and jump back when navigating the file with the arrow keys.

First reported on Pythonista forum.

The issue happens almost 100% of the time when doing up-down or down-up with the keyboard arrow keys.

If doing up-down-up, the final result will be that the cursor will be one row up (just with a weird jump to end of file after the “down”).

If doing up-down-sometext, however, the text will be typed at the end of file.

This is happening to me on Ipad with the magic keyboard. It's incredibly frustrating, but generally fixed by tapping back up then left or right before trying to continue scrolling.

This issue appears to be a duplicate of #661 Incorrect cursor navigation on iPad with external keyboard from 21 Oct 2020, with 5 users (including original commenter) with the issue - so that's 9 total. As github doesn't allow merging of issues, I recommend closing this as a duplicate and moving future commentary to the older issue.

I downloaded this app ten minutes ago only to discover this issue almost immediately. Any news on an update? This looks like an older issue. — Sorry, realized I need to be commenting on #661

I have the same or similar issue when clicking a line and the editor immediately scrolling to the bottom. Totally annoying to the point of shutting the app down FOEVAH!

This should be fixed in the 3.4 beta.
