Cursor Placement Issue in Confluence Text Fields

I've observed a recurring issue in Confluence where clicking once to place the cursor in a text box does not work as expected. Instead, I need to double-click to activate the cursor in the desired location. Otherwise, any input is directed to a previously active text field, which may be off-screen. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is there a known fix, or could this be a software bug?

Hi @Greg Ryan welcome to the community.  Are you referring to a text box in a database that's on a Confluence page?  If that's the case, I see that the first click is highlighting the cell, so you can do cell manipulation on it.

It does take that second click before the cursor appears.  I am noticing even though there isn't a cursor, I can type, and it is appearing in that text box.

I did find CONFCLOUD-79830 on Atlassian's Jira Site that may be related to your issue.  If it is, you can vote for and watch it for updates.  I didn't experience that with a table either.

If I'm not understanding your question, could you add some clarification on your issue, and maybe a screenshot or steps to reproduce?

Hope that helps.
