TiddlyWiki editor stopped responding to keystrokes

[Alan Finger]

Hi,

I'm using TiddlyWiki5 on node js. The tiddler text editor has suddenly stopped accepting keystrokes. Markdown inserts work normally and all other fields can be typed into. This is consistent across several different browsers and computers. Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

Thanks,

Alan

Seems like part of a pattern. There was another post with the same problem just a couple days ago:

It looks like the problem is specific to browsers using the Chrome engine. Fails with Chrome and Brave. Works ok with Firefox.

Alan,

Do you have any plugins that use the text area?. Install codemirror editor and see if its still a problem. It does not use a simple text area.

Installing Code Mirror did not work - don't do it.

That blew it up completely. I was able to roll the entire directory back to before I started having trouble and that seemed to fix the problem.

Same here using Chrome.

How did you fix this please ?

I am having the same issue. Very strange. I can input text in other fields, but not the editor. Installing CodeMirror did not solve the issue.
