Steps to reproduce:

I am creating a Thimble using Chrome Version 28.0.1500.71 on OSX 10.8.4.

I am typing in the editor window.


Actual results:

The cursor acts one step back from it's position.

e.g. if the cursor is positioned at the end of the word 'connect' and I delete the last letter and type another 't', what actually happens is the 'c' is deleted and the word appears as 'connett'.


Expected results:

The cursor should act where it appears...

The problem actually got worse as I continued, with the cursor getting further from where I was typing.

I cannot reproduce this with the standard thimble.webmaker.org page using this proceure:

1. load thimble.webmaker.org
2. place cursor at the end of the word "amazing"
3. hit backspace
4. type 'g'

result: "g" gets added, in the correct location.

Can you list the steps you take to reproduce this bug reliably for you?

I can't reproduce it I'm afraid. I closed that window and restarted and haven't had the problem again.

In that case I'm going to mark this ticket as invalid, but if you run across it again, I'd love to know the details. Incorrect cursor jumping is pretty bad when the only thing you have to edit with is the cursor position =(
