While editing a Confluence Page, cursor jumps around when clicking regions between Text Styles.

Hi.

When editing Confluence Pages, there is a small region between a standard text block to an outline. In this region the cursor changes from the editing I-Beam shape to an arrow. If you click, the page scrolls to a seemingly random position.

This is in Chrome/Edge on 9.2.8. This does not occur in Firefox.

Hi @Thomas Capuano welcome to the community. It appears you are using Confluence Data Center 9.2.8. I apologize if I'm reading your question incorrectly. I did find CONFSERVER-34278 on Atlassian's Jira Site for similar 'cursor jumping' issue with IE. I don't know if it is related or not. If it is, please vote for and watch it for updates.

If that is not it, there are some other similar issues out there that may explain your issue. If you're not on the latest Data Center version, it might be worth upgrading and try it there.

Hope that helps.

Hello. This is not the same issue, though it is similar.

The steps to reproduce would be to:
Make a new page
Add 1 line of text.

Add 1 line of Outline/Bullet

Repeat until the page is full and there is a scroll bar.

Scroll all the way down.

While in edit mode, move your mouse in the area between the text and outline.

Your cursor will change from I beam to arrow. If you click when in arrow mode, it jumps randomly. This occurs in Chrome and Edge, not Firefox.

In Chrome, if you open the page in Developer Tools and navigate to the <body id="tinymce" tag, and navigate to one of the <p> handle, it will highlight the area that causes the cursor to jump in orange.

I'm also seeing this behaviour on DC 9.2.3. The page jumps when clicking between paragraphs too, very annoying when editing a long page of text!
