Text input box cursor jump to end on every edit

  • 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.

  • Screenshots:


  • App json export:
    Curser jump test.json (298.7 KB)

This is time critical issue for us. We are not able to upgrade to the latest version due to this issue.

Please let me know if you need any other details.

Thank you
