Ckeditor4: Got "Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setEnd' on 'Range'" when operating on a mention

Created on 25 Jul 2018 · 5Comments · Source: ckeditor/ckeditor4

Type of report

Bug

Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

Open https://sdk.ckeditor.com/samples/mentions.html.
Make sure that the developer console is open.
Mention one of the users, say, "@ ajames" (without the space).
Delete the mention added in step 3 one character at a time.

May need to repeat steps 3 and 4 multiple times for the Exception to happen.

Expected result

No errors in developer console.

Actual result

Got the following errors:

Uncaught DOMException: Failed to execute 'setEnd' on 'Range': The offset 6 is larger than the node's length (5).

As described it does not reproduce all the time, for me I was able to repro it when I had the inserted mention phrase in the middle of the plain text.

Looks like an issue with our webkit filling characters.

I'm also able to reproduce the issue. It seems like it occurs more often when you start deleting adjacent text node.

I can also reproduce this issue. I also faced another one which I randomly get while trying to reproduce this one. Not sure if it is related:

plugin.js?t=I6D6:7 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'element' of null

@dennisjsq @pupi1985 thanks for reporting the issue, but I'm closing it as duplicate of #2194. Further discussion should be hold there or in PR #2370 which holds the fix.
