Steps to reproduce:

Edit a bookmark.

Actual results:

Occasionally, the cursor does not stop at the end of the line, but either starts again at the beginning of the line or jumps to a new line that does not exist.

Expected results:

Cursor must always stop at the end of the line.

Could you provide a screenshot or video of this behavior? How long was the title of the bookmark that you're saving?

I will try to make a video of the phenomenon the next time it occurs. The titles have been very long in the affected cases so far.

I assume you would like to know the exact number of characters, Jeff?

The exact number isn't needed. Just any information that would help us reproduce the issue would be great.

Severity: -- → S4

I discovered a possible cause today. It is possible to insert elements into the title bar via “copy/paste”. Now it can possibly happen that you copy “too much”. Non-printable characters such as line breaks are probably the cause. The user does not notice this and the software presumably does not eliminate them.

I ran through my assumption a few times with the copied interlacing and it was confirmed.
