Testing version: 2.2.2 (12723)
What were you doing: backspacing to delete characters
What feature did you use: the editor in conjunction with the backspace button only
What happened: while backspacing to delete characters from the middle of a line in the middle of a multi-line paragraph, if deleting a character results in the paragraph shortening by a line, the cursor will visually jump up a line. this happens when backspacing over either the character that causes the line count change or the subsequent one (i.e., the next one to be backspaced); i have not been able to discern what the conditions are for each case. sometimes the cursor will stay incorrectly displaced by a line, and other times it will reset itself after a half second or so. likewise, i don’t know the conditions under which each behavior occurs.
continuing to backspace afterwards works fine, and the cursor resets. this seems to be a purely visual issue—the cursor will also no longer be aligned to character boundaries when it jumps up, and appears to just be displaced vertically by one line.
this bug is, naturally, easier to reproduce if the last line in the paragraph happens to be short.
What did you expect to happen: the cursor should just be normal and not so weird
i have a screen recording of the issue which i can share with the bear team, but it seems to be too large to upload here.
