Dodgy Code Editor (intellisense)

This bug regularly drives me close to insanity yet I have not been able to find anyone else with this bug. Incidentally I did try multiple searches today to try and find someone else with this bug and after about 10 searches, the forum search decided I had tried to perform that action too many times. So, if this is a duplicate, not my fault.

This bug is when writing code, usually when creating your own script.

While I type, something in the background changes the code, deletes a character I just typed or moves the cursor somewhere else in the script.

I think it's probably some delayed intellisense but sometimes it's so bad that it takes me minutes to write something I should be able to write in seconds, its infuriating, literally to the point that I decide that I can't work with Retool that day.

Has anyone else experienced this? If you have, please +1 as I'm sure I've raised this over a year ago and it's not improved at all.

+1. Makes me go mad sometimes as well. Haven't really had the time to search for patterns on when this happens as it is not always

I think this is the same bug as here... which was fixed at one point. I've noticed it happening again recently, but for me it happens more often when I'm at the office than when I'm at home which makes me think its a network issue of some sort. like a dropped packet or something, its like I press a key and the letter shows up on my end but the retool server didn't get the change so when the UI redraws it retrieves the code without the new letter effectively deleting what I type)

Thanks, yes, the behaviour sounds similar.
