Cursor jumps to the end while typing in a text input box

[SearchingYT]

Hi power apps experts,

I have been experiencing a strange and irritating issue with my app. I have a simple textinput box.
There is a lot of text in this box.

Sometimes, when I am typing text in the first line of textbox. While typing, the cursor jumps to the end of line and I am suddenly typing at the end of line.
This happens multiple times during a day. It always jumps to the end of line.

I have tried placing the text input control in a form, out of a form, changed browser, I am simply not able to fix this issue.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks.

Does it happen when you press Tab? or Automatically?

Hi @SearchingYT

• Is it happening for all textbox controls?
• Do you have any event SetFocus(text control) from other control?
• Any Onchange event for that textbox control?

@zmansuri It happens automatically.

Hi @SearchingYT 

Just curiosity, Can you create a new app, place few controls and test this? Just to eliminate is this behavior global or to a specific app or Specific screen?

- No, only 1 on textbox. Other textbox are small with very little text. Its only this text box that contains a lot of text, where I spend more time typing and experience this issue.
- Nope, no setfocus event
- Yes I have onchange patch. But I have tried removing onchange and using the textinput box in a form instead, still facing the same issue. So, onchange doesn't seem to be the issue. And, the cursor jumps while I am still typing, so onchange is not triggered at that point.

Hi @SearchingYT 

Is the control enabled for "Edit Multi-line text" on Control Type? In this example "Issue Description" is enabled for multi-line text.

Not able to attach image somehow

• Select the form
• Click Edit fields
• Check the text control (Control Type)

Hi @StalinPonnusamy 
The control is just a textinput box. It is not in a form.
It is patched to the datasource.
Yes, it is has multiline mode.

I believe this is a limitation of textinput control when working with large amounts of text? I am not sure...

Hi @SearchingYT 

Max size for the text controls

• A single line of text: Max 4,000 text characters
• Multiple lines of text : Max 1,048,576 text characters

I am experiencing this same exact problem.  Interested to see if others are struggling with this and if there is a resolution.
