Hello all!

I recently upgraded to xF2.3.7.

There is a problem on the xF2 editor on my forum, but I can detect it even here on xenforo.com.

The bug: If I select a smiley from the smilies menu / list while writing on the editor, I can't turn the text cursor in front of that smiley, for example for changing sth or add new text. The cursor stacks in front of the smiley -1 position from the smiley.

Example:
test :coffee: -> I cant't move my text cursor in front last "t" while no other chars in front of the emoji / smiley, I had to disable rich editor so as to the smiley converted into :coffee: and now I can move the cursor.

Any idea to fix?

We didn't have it in previous versions of xF2.

Thanks
 
This is a well known issue we all have to live with until the new editor arrives in xf2.4

Btw: did you mean you've upgraded to xf2.3.8?
 
Automated triage: Awaiting feedback

Thank you for reporting this issue. We need a little more detail to look into this. The editor's smilie insertion code hasn't changed in recent versions, and this behaviour has previously been seen only in a specific browser.

  • Which browser, browser version and operating system do you see this in, and does it also happen in a different browser (for example Chrome vs Firefox)?
  • Is the problem placing the cursor after the smilie (for example when the smilie is the last thing in the text), or before it? Does it still happen if you type more text after the smilie?

This is an automated assessment. A member of staff may review and update it.
