Right-clicking randomly deletes text from the editor

[JordanTheriault]

Right-clicking on elements or properties will delete the text from the editor. After bisection by @humphd it's determined this is a recent regression caused by a recent commit

@humphd: I bisected, and this was caused by a0daa3a upstream.

Here is a screen cap of it happening.

Looks like a codemirror upstream issue.

Ouch.
codemirror/codemirror5@5d8347d is the upstream culprit.
Let's see if it's our fault or theirs.

Because I might not be able to file these today, I sum up my findings here:
It looks like the content of the hidden textarea changes, which is then picked up by slowPoll.

I verified this is not a Chrome-only bug by successfully reproducing this in Brackets, Bracketron and Bramble with both Chrome and Firefox.

That's what the stack trace looks like, with the downright nonsensical call to applyTextInput in the console below.

Upstream CM bug filed: codemirror/codemirror5#3273

[marcelgerber]

This is now fixed.
Thanks for reporting!

Hi!

How can I fix that issue on my end? My brackets is updated but I'm still getting that bug when I right click a text.

[marcelgerber]

Please call git submodule sync && git submodule update --init.

[ghost]

I'm new to this sorry... where will I call that?

[marcelgerber]

I guess you have a cloned version of Brackets (Is that what "updated" is for you? If not, you shouldn't ever experience this issue with a Release build).
If you have, just navigate in there cd xyz/brackets and then call the two commands from above.

[ghost]

I navigated in there and typed the two commands but it gives error "no git repository,..."

I have no idea if this one is cloned or not. I just downloaded it here http://brackets.io/ and installed Code Folding plugin.

[marcelgerber]

In that case, you don't have a clone.

So you're saying you see this exact issue in Release 1.3?

[ghost]

I think yes. check the GIF's below

[marcelgerber]

Indeed. Could you just quickly try Debug > Reload without extensions?

[ghost]

same problem..

[ghost]

oh wait.. Without you say? yes it's not deleting anymore when Reload without extensions

[mackenza]

it would be good to get a list of your extensions then as it seems to be an extension issue.

[abose]

The first GIF shows that it is the release build;Did you correctly launch brackets from the sources at the time?

[marcelgerber]

@mackenza You can see them in the second GIF:

• Code Folding (the one that is now a default extension)
• Extract for Brackets
• FunctionFinder
• Smooth Scroll

@abose The thing is, he runs into this issue with his Release build (but caused by some extension).
