Capital P opens the 3 dots popup in the new editor

Florian Schmid November 3, 2025

Hello,

 

we have a very strange and annoying bug in the new editor.

Every-time, when I write a capital P, the 3 dots pop-up opens and I have to manually move with the mouse courser and click to my last letter to be able to write again.

How can I disable this, as this is so extremely annoying, that I have started to copy & paste capital "P" now and it makes the work so much slower.

 

Best regards

Hi @Florian Schmid ,

In the editor, at the bottom left, you can see the ‘?’ icon with a link to ‘Editing keyboard shortcuts’, but there’s nothing mentioned about ‘Shift + P’.
https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/keyboard-shortcuts-markdown-and-autocomplete/

There’s not even a reference to the action menu, so my guess is that one of the installed apps is using a keyboard shortcut to access the contentAction.

Depending on how many apps you have installed, I’d suggest turning them off one by one (and refreshing the page each time) to identify which app is causing the issue. Once you find it, you can contact that Marketplace Partner to have it fixed or updated.

Maybe it’s a new feature introduced in one of the installed apps. You can try checking the release notes of your installed apps.

Alternatively, it could be an older feature that stopped working when the new editor was introduced, so the cause and effect might be mixed.

@Florian Schmid I did some digging, at least 1 app can break it: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1230784/count-for-confluence?hosting=cloud&tab=overview 

I've installed it and I expierience the same issue

Hello,

thank you very much for your fast answers.

 

All our users have this problem using different browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Clearing the cache or cookies doesn't help.

This has suddenly started a few month ago with the new editor. 

We don't have a lot of apps installed or activated. especially none in the last months, where this problem has started.

Hi @Florian Schmid 

Can you clear your cache and cookies or try another browser.

Or check you shortcuts on your device.

I created a new page and typing p or capital P is not activating the 3 dot option.

I have tested this on multiple Confluence instances and when creating pages in multiple instances, but "p" never activates the 3dot option.
