Checklist:

Home Assistant 0.103.6

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

UI (States or Lovelace UI?):

Lovelace

Browser and Operating System:

Safari iOS/iPadOS 13.3 but potentially all previous versions too.

Description of problem:

Unable to easily select text within the card configuration code edit view (also raw config view) but when you do manage to select anything and you copy and paste it does not paste what was copied but a subset of that (first character for example)

Expected behaviour:

To be easily able to select, copy and paste code in the above editors.

Relevant config:

N/A

Steps to reproduce this problem:

See the below example gif:

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):

This is an upstream problem of CodeMirror, we should either wait for the release of CodeMirror 6 https://codemirror.net/6/ or move to regular text boxes for mobile.

Out of interest is HA using the latest version of CodeMirror? How can I check?

Thanks @iantrich , a few versions behind then. What’s the process for getting the updated version included?

[bramkragten]

There don't seem to be changes that are relevant to us or that will solve this, but a PR with an update is welcome.

Considering we have no ETA for Codemirror 6 would it be worth looking into an alternative editor? I (and I’m sure others) do a great deal of my editing of Home Assistant on iOS/iPadOS and the current editor across the entirety of Home Assistant on these platforms is unusable.
