1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have live preview enabled and be in edit mode
  2. Create a new note
  3. Create a Text property (description)
  4. Add some text to the property like: test text
  5. Create a inline base view:
```base
views:
  - type: table
    name: Table
    order:
      - file.name
      - description
```
  1. Select the editable text property description inside the base view so it’s in focus
  2. Press Ctrl + A for selecting all

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

Selects all the text inside the editable field.

Actual result

Cursor jumps back to where it was before selecting the text property inside bases view.

Environment

Additional information

When focus is on a field inside a table or the property input field in the header, then select all with Ctrl + A works with selecting the whole field. Also if in reading view and then doing step 6 and 7 above, then it works with selecting all the text.

Just adding that this also occurs with embedded bases, not just inline ones.

Just adding that I am also experiencing this on ios when using the “select all” popup over the cursor.

I did some test for this again, and it seems to have been solved in one of the updates. Meaning I can’t reproduce this, and it seems to be working correctly both inline and in bases view.
