Has anyone else noticed issues with the cursor jumping to the bottom when editing a complex template column? Happens all the time…I am editing a complex template field’s text and cursor jumps to the end. I catch it - usually - and clean it up and get back to work. This started recently and never had this issue before. ---

There are often leaps and even backward deletion of the last letter that has been typed. Has anyone experienced the same thing? ---

Same thing with renaming apps. And I do it quite often for my backups ---

Is there any idea when this is going to be fixed? It is really painful when having to constantly re-type a word just to get to the end of word. Or realizing that a letter dropped and that is why nothing works in an ITE column. Hopefully very soon? ---

I think you should contact support via chat, because this case is not the same for every application. ---

Yes, happens a lot. Not just Template columns, all column types can be affected. For things like templates and JavaScript columns, what I do is prepare them in a text editor and paste them into the Glide column. Results in a lot less swearing at my computer. ---

Yes, it even freezes my computer. To ease the frustration, I usually create a new app for testing purposes. It seems like there’s a heavy performance issue from Glide that’s really straining the computer. ---

Thanks Darren - glad to know I am not the only. Seems to happen more frequently in the last month or so. From annoying to nearly un-workable. ---

Besides long template columns, I have the jumping cursor in other places as well - seems like just about anywhere there is text input connected to a component or action. Column or action names for sure.
