XF 2.2 Can't type after emoji

[Alvin63]

So I have this weird thing on xenforo forums (this and two others) that I cannot seem to use an emoji and then carry on typing afterwards! ie I cannot place the cursor after the emoji - it will only go before the emoji (and move it along). I can see others place emoji's mid sentence and am confused as to why I can't do that! It seems a ridiculously silly issue, but is it just me?! And why?

Various editor issues have been fixed in the next release.

This is likely one of them.

Which browser and OS?

I have had the solution explained to me on another forum now It's Firefox and Windows 10 - you need to press the down arrow key after inserting the emoji to move the cursor to the right of the emoji . A firefox thing apparently.

So do I complain to Firefox or ask Xenforo to sort it?! Because it's only on Xenforo forums it happens.

I believe that has already been reported and fixed for the next release.

Thanks - I just updated that other thread with the work around (press the down arrow key to move the cursor to the right of the smilie)

Latest version of FF and XF2, this is still happening. Or again, I don't know, I haven't used emoji before. What's the status on this?

Using down arrow will allow you to get behind an emoji, but logically it should be left/right and mouse cursor repositioning should also work, which it doesn't.

It's all the bb-code with the same problem.
