Whenever I try to edit a formula in a Math column, the cursor jumps to the end of the line with _every_ key press. Do others see this behaviour? (Has it already been reported?)

I get the same behaviour in both Firefox and Chrome, so I don’t think it’s a browser issue.

Edit: it’s present in both the old and new builders

Yes! Drive’s me insane! Especially when I’ve been working on trying to figure out a formula for a few hours and have to keep fighting the cursor jumping. I’ve done A LOT of typing at the end of the formula, then copy and past into the proper position within the formula, or I frequently have to use Notepad to temporarily hold chunks of my formula while I move things around. It’s a bit painful.

@George_B are you able to replicate this one?

I’d imagine (hope) it would be a fairly simple fix, and a bunch of users (well, at least 3) would be eternally grateful 🙂 🙏

I’ll bring it to the attention of the Engineering team.

Sorry @Darren_Murphy

Especially when you edit ()

It’s definitely better than it was, but still not 100% okay…
