Cursor Misbehaves While Editing In Canvas

(0) ShareShare

Has anyone else found it difficult to edit inside blocks in the canvas because the cursor keeps jumping to the beginning of the block?

Anyone know what to do about it?

    Hello! Can you please clarify a couple things to help us identify the issue? Is this in a preview bot specifically or are you seeing this issue in previous existing bots? Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.  Not sure what you mean by "preview bot".  This happens when editing the Topic Flow in the Editing Canvas.  For example, while editing a Message Block and trying to insert text somewhere within, the cursor constantly jumps to the beginning to the block editing area.  Almost have to type whats needed quickly before the cursor jumps.

     

    Don't have many previous bots to compare to, but maybe can try playing around in the sample topics to see if its the same behavior.  Will report back.  Thanks!

    Are you using the new preview? We have much better support for editing the canvas:

    Perhaps should have been clear that I am referring to the Canvas editor in Teams (sorry about that).  So I assume the preview version is not available in Teams yet and is different?

    Not seeing the behavior under other topics, so perhaps my topic was just a little corrupted.  Again, using PVA builder in Teams.

    I do have this issue now and YAML editor option isn't visible.

    Oh Oh

    Yea might have been pre-mature to mark accepted solution.
