Editor keeps refreshing after typing

Bug Report
1

For some reason which I can’t pinpoint the in browser editor (HTML etc.) keeps doing a refresh after some characters are typed. Causing the focus to reset and needing to click on the line again.

I’ve disabled my extension to make sure it’s not due to those.
I’m using Firefox.

I am trying to reproduce this issue and have not been able to do so yet. Can you please provide a little more info?

  • What version of Firefox and what operating system?
  • Is this happening only on a specific page? Only for a specific key sequence? Or is this a problem across many pages / scenarios?
    • If it is a specific page, can you please PM me a link to the page in the Losant interface?
  • If you switch the editor into fullscreen mode (button in the bottom right corner), do you get the problem there as well?

Thanks for the report and for the help identifying the issue; if we can reproduce it we will get it fixed ASAP.

  • What version of Firefox and what operating system? - Version 127.0.1 (64-bit)
  • Is this happening only on a specific page? Only for a specific key sequence? Or is this a problem across many pages / scenarios? - Across all pages the same behaviour
  • If it is a specific page, can you please PM me a link to the page in the Losant interface? -
  • If you switch the editor into fullscreen mode (button in the bottom right corner), do you get the problem there as well? - No, it only occurs when not in full screen

I have also noticed that it seems to only occur to specific parts of the code. Sometimes it is only a templated value.

I’m sorry, I’m trying but I’m still not able to reproduce the error, so a couple more questions -

  • My suspicion is it is somehow tied to the autocomplete popup that appears when you begin typing the beginning of a word / variable name. Can you confirm this, or are you seeing it happen when the popup does not appear?
  • Does the error occur when you load the application in a private window in Firefox? (This should disable any extensions you have installed.)
  • Can you get the error to occur in different browsers? (Chrome, Safari, Edge)
  • If you are able to reliably reproduce this with specific steps, can you provide those? (You can PM them to me if you prefer.) For example …
    1. Visit the editor for the following page (link).
    2. On line x, after the word y, enter z.
    3. And so on.

Thanks for your continued help in tracking this down.

It is indeed tied to the autocomplete popup. But the strange thing is that it’s not always an issue.
Tried it with extensions disabled in Firefox, also in chrome. Same behavior.

I was able to reproduce it.

On the CPF example, I went into the experience editor to the CPF-page-login. On there I just tried to edit the “Forgot Password?” on line 19. As soon as the autocomplete popup tries to show it refreshes.
