Confluence Typing Randomly Jumping Around Page In Editor

Noah Zender

Hello,

I'm working on a document in Confluence. Every time I type, for no rhyme or reason, the cursor shifts to a random spot on the page. It's made working in the document impossible.

I tried looking through the forum and nothing seems to resolve it.

• I have tried another browser (Comet, Dia, Chrome) and it does this on every browser I've tired.
• I have turned off my Mac OS autocorrect (and any potential related settings) still does this.
• I've cleared browser data, emptied cache, and hard reloaded.

This only happens in Confluence... Every other page / website works fine.

It's frustrating because as I type this it's working exactly as you'd expect any text editor to work.

Here's what that experience looks like: https://monosnap.com/file/RGOulPB6GGX9mI6rcPejI68cYs7cJ9

Please help. It makes getting any work done impossible!

Uh, that looks quite annoying @Noah Zender 
IMO, definitelly 'unworkable' environment if it happens often. 👀

Not sure how much help you can get here, so I'd recommend reaching out to Atlassian Support. You'll probably need to give them site access to try to replicate behavior, and you'll potentially need to generate HAR file for further debugging.

It would be worth checking with colleagues if they are experiencing the same thing on this site, but most likely it's something with the device you're using, as I've never seen this kind of issue on any site we're managing.

Cheers,
Tobi
