Problem with RadEditor insertion point jumping to end of line

[John Mann]

I have a RadEditior embedded in RadGrid. I've been getting frequent complaints from users that the cursor jumps around when they are trying to edit previously entered text. I've been able to recreate part of the problem by pressing the spacebar twice. The first space is inserted normally, the second space is inserted as an   and then the cursor jumps to the end of the current line. Once this happens nothing can be typed without the insertion point jumping to the end. Switching to html mode and back will temporarily correct the problem. Strange behavior will also occur when the insert key is pressed and the control goes into overwrite mode.

Here is the grid with its RadEditor. This is all located in a RadWindow.

 We are using IE9, Windows 7, and version ​2015.1.401.40 of the Telerik controls.

Any suggestions on how to correct this behavior?

 

Thanks,

John

Hello John,

I tested with a similar configuration in this online demo (http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/edittemplate/defaultcs.aspx), but I was unable to encounter the issues described. Here you are a screencast that shows my tests—http://screencast.com/t/l0wg6TKmmAH.

Let me know if there are any additional steps required to reproduce the issue.

We noticed the same frustrating "cursor moving to end-of-line" issue. Reverting the Telerik version from 2015.1.401.40 back to 2013.3.1324.40 resolved it.
