Writer field cursor jump

The CMS Questions
1

Situation: Editing a writer field in the panel drawer which contains text (image caption field).

Action: When I place the cursor in front of the first character (or any position) and start typing the cursor jumps to the end of the text.

Kirby: 3.5.3.1

Blueprint:

name: field.blocks.image.name
icon: image
preview: image
fields:
  image:
    label: field.blocks.image.name
    type: files
    multiple: false
    width: 1/2
    layout: cards
    size: small
    image:
      back: black
    uploads:
      template: image
  caption:
    label: Caption
    type: writer
    icon: text
    width: 1/2
   … etc

It seems that setting inline: true instead of the default false prevents this behaviour.
Also, without inline: true any text after a hard return isn’t displayed at the front-end.

I can reproduce this issue and seems to be a bug.

Has this been fixed?

Dunno, but reporting of errors is preferred on Github instead of this forum …

I was just going to write a question for this. In 3.9.2 it is still an annoying problem.
I will look at github to see if it’s there.

This very annoying bug is still in 3.9.4 …

It’s still present in 5.12.

inline: false (default) let’s you not edit the content :cross_mark: IN FIREFOX.
:white_check_mark: Chrome works.

Edit:
Created a bugreport Firefox: writer field with inline: false not editable · Issue #7654 · getkirby/kirby · GitHub

I cannot reproduce this behavior in Firefox (144.0.2 (aarch64)), but I’m on MacOS.

That narrows it down to Windows/Firefox probably.
I updated the Github-Issue.

Thanks for the info.

This has been resolved for me.

I have a panel custom css-file with:

* {
  user-select: none;
}

Strangely the rule is applied to the writer-field in Firefox, but not in Chrome.
So, if you guys above me have custom panel css as well, please check it :smiley:
