I deal with this as well in Rich Text Fields - another instance of the cursor in “my” color elsewhere in the Text fields. Agreed makes input slow, and is one of a host of difficulties and buggy behavior I have in Rich Text manipulation. Others off the top of my head:
- If I try to create an entity inline and one of the text string is a URL, it breaks the entity creation so I have to manually go back and highlight to create
- If I try to soft return with “shift” + “return” to create a new line break, which I’m forced to do often to maintain highlights due to this limitation, the new line won’t start if the Rich Text box is not wide enough on the screen. Instead, even though I hit “shift” + “return,” the next character I type is on the same line
Thanks!
