  • Goal: We are trying to update the text readability score for text in the input box.

  • Steps: We are getting this issue in specific retool version which is "3.52.3-stable". In older version we are not facing this issue.

  • Details: While editing the text box the after 2 seconds debounce we are hitting the readability API which updates the text readability score on the go. The score gets updated as user types with 2 seconds debounce time. We we upgraded the latest stable version we noticed that while editing in between cursor was jumping to end of the text.

Hi @Gaurav_Wagh,

Unfortunately, I'm not able to provide a timeline on this one as it has turned out to be very technically complex to resolve :disappointed: It looks like our team is still considering the best way to ship a fix
