Node-red function editing issue in Raspberry pi.

[David Beros]

Having a strange problem with node-red running on raspberry pi.

When editing a function node, the function's text will not display.
Cntrl A + Cntrl C then pasting into a notepad file reveals the function's text, and text can still be inputted with the keyboard but there is no way of seeing what is being typed in the node-red editor.

Some screens shots attached for clarity. Any one have an idea what might be going on here?

What browser are you using?

Hello,

I have the same problem regarding editing a function or comment node.
On my Raspi 3 is Rasbian Jessie installed and I use the standard web browser of the package.
Node-Red has been upgrated to version 0.14.6

Under Windows 7 and Firefox the stuff is running well.

I just started with Node-Red and I am impressed about the functionallity.

Many thanks for any help

Walter

Walter,

Glad you like Node-red

Its a known problem with the standard browser in the raspberry pi gui.

Which is why there's this note:

Note: the default browser included in Raspbian, Epiphany, has some quirks that mean certain keyboard short-cuts do not work within the Node-RED editor. We strongly recommend installing the Firefox-ESR browser instead:

    sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

on the raspberry pi specific page in the documentation: http://nodered.org/docs/hardware/raspberrypi

A lot of people run node-red on a raspberry-pi and then log into it from a browser on a Mac or a PC, which as you appear to have discovered works very well.

Hi

we recommend the firefox browser for Pi

   sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

Hello Mark, hello Dave,

Many thanks for your very quick replay. With Firefox on the Raspi it works.

Have a good time

Walter
