Confirmed. Though for me it only happens if I click on the placeholder text. If I click on another part of the element it receives focus straight away.

I'm fairly sure this is a bug with chrome as the contenteditable element remains focused and yet doesn't allow keyboard input. A way around this is to set hideOnClick: false in settings if you're ok with that option.

Hi.

Thanks for a solution that worked. Seems like this only applies to Chrome, but there may be a way to fix it. I think I experienced the bug at the same time as Chrome got a black frame around focused elements.

The biggest problem is with copy/paste. The text is pasted into the element you are copying it from (if you don't click twice first). That problem was also solved with hideOnClick: false.

I found a workaround by adding this style : .medium-editor-element:after{ content: ""; } So you can leave the option hideOnClick: true

Perfect, thank you! Was really bugging me!
