Fixed Backspace key in Froala very slow on iPhone 5

[W1zzard]

Affected version

2.0.0

Just edit any post and hold the backspace key, it will lag for a few seconds, then delete a bunch of characters and lag again.

Typing text is reasonably fast.

Tested on iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c.

Also happens on Froala website demo.

Can't reproduce on an iPhone 6 Plus. Backspacing tapping and holding works just fine.

You may be experiencing normal backspace behaviour on iPhones, though. With a large body of text, if you hold backspace, it will behave normally for a while and then start deleting larger bodies of characters/words with slight delay between each delete. This applies for all text fields you interact with on an iOS device.

Nope, that's not it. It will lag for 6-10 seconds without deleting any characters, then show the behaviour you describe and then lag again

Can you confirm which versions of iOS are running on the 5 and 5c?

10.3.3 for both

Thanks for confirming. I can reproduce the issue on my iPad Mini running iOS 9 and the video your user created is a useful demonstration too.

We've reported the issue to Froala:

It looks like Froala have made some improvements here. I've tested my iPad Mini on an as yet unreleased version of Froala and there seems to be an improvement there.

Should be able to test that here if you want:

We'll mark this fixed once that Froala release is included in our next XF release.

The relevant changes for this are included in the upcoming XF 2.0.2 and have been rolled out here if you'd like to test. Thank you.
