Find inside note broken when clicking on a word

Bug graveyard
,
1

(First I thought this had to do with Vim mode, but it also seems broken without Vim mode enabled)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the Sandbox Vault
  2. Click on the “o” from the sentence “First of”
  3. Click on some whitespace (in Vim mode the letter “o” should now have a red box around it, but it’s basically CodeMirror placing the cursor on that position, breaking up the search text)
  4. Find the text “First of” with the Find in document function (e.g. Cmd-F)

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

Yes

Expected result

The search term “First of” should be found

Actual result

Only the text "First " can be found, no further matches. Probably because CodeMirror is breaking up the elements underneath when placing the cursor.

I’m able to reproduce this. I changed “Search” in the title to “Find” to match the feature’s name.

Thanks @CawlinTeffid - hopefully this can be fixed in a future release!

  1. Does it happen in the sandbox vault?
  2. Does it happen in source mode?
  3. Does it happen here https://codemirror.net/5/demo/vim.html ?
  4. Does it happen here https://raw.githack.com/replit/codemirror-vim/master/dev/web-demo.html ?

I can’t check the others right now, but 1. Sandbox is a yes.

2. It does happen in Source Mode in the Sandbox.

3 & 4: I don’t see a “Find…” feature on either of those pages, so can’t test. I tried with desktop Safari’s built-in Find and that worked, FWIW.

Search how?

8

“Find…” in page, not the global search.

@WhiteNoise as far as I can see it only happens in the CodeMirror view (Live Preview) as I’m fairly certain it happens when CM6 ‘draws’ a cursor in the selected text and ‘breaks up’ the text in 's for the matched and non-matched parts (you can check in the Console)

thanks

Weird. This isn’t a vim bug. It also happens when vim mode is disabled.

This will be fixed in v1.5.6
