Hey folks,

I am having an unusual problem with TiddlyWiki that I need help solving. I use the Node.JS version of TiddlyWiki to maintain a wiki for my fantasy series, and I'm running into a strange problem. As of around last week, I can no longer edit tiddlers in my wiki. I can pull up the Wiki, edit the title of tiddlers, and even click inside the text entry box at specific spots as if ready to input text, but no matter what I type in the keyboard, no new text appears. I've confirmed the issue is specific to TiddlyWiki, and I'm not sure if anyone has encountered any situations where this can occur and how to fix it. 

I'm using version 5.1.13 accessed via Node.JS and Google Chrome. Any ideas what might be causing the issue? Thank you for any assistance.

Hi Jett

Thanks for the report. Do things work if you use a different browser than Chrome? Are you using the CodeMirror plugin in TiddlyWiki? Are you using any Chrome extensions?

Many thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Ironically, it looks like the issue has resolved itself, but here is all of the info in the event it happens again or someone else is having the same issue.

I opened up my wiki in Microsoft Edge and had no issue editing tiddlers. I'm wondering if perhaps doing this fixed whatever was going on in Chrome, because as of today, my wiki is working fine in Chrome. I did install CodeMirror, but that did not initially fix the problem. I do use several Chrome Extensions, including Evernote, Lastpass, AdBlock, TimeWarp, Momentum, and Pinterest. A few running in the background are Logitech Smooth Scrolling, Adobe Acrobat, Google Docs Offline, and the application launcher for Google Drive. Not sure what fixed the issue, but everything seems to be working. If that changes, I'll post an update.

Jett
