Confluence Databases — Text fields cannot select cursor position

Question

First, the new Confluence Databases feature is awesome! I love them. So much nicer to organize certain content that must be interlinked and embedded in various pages.

I just wanted to check with the community if there are any others running into an issue I am seeing. When I am editing a text field, I am not able to click anywhere within the body of text to move the cursor; I can only move the cursor with keyboard actions.

Anyone else seeing the same behavior? I'm using Firefox and I haven't tried another browser yet. Actually I should just go look at the HTML to see what the deal is.

Thanks,
Jarred

1.5 years later, this problem still exists. Very frustrating

Ok, I see that the textarea element has CSS applied to it that disabled pointer events (`pointer-events: none;`). That would explain the behavior I'm seeing.

I would consider this a bug. I'll submit an issue about it.
