Wysiwyg-editor: On iOS if an image is embedded in the editor, backspace will reload the image

[chrisdeeming]

Expected behavior.

Other browsers do not reload the image when the editor content changes.

Actual behavior.

Backspaces and I think new lines cause the image to briefly disappear, before being reloaded.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Insert an image into the editor from a URL. Add some text and then remove some of the text. There's a noticeable flash. If you inspect the "Network" tab via the dev inspector of macOS Safari while the iOS device is connected, you will see a network request for the image.

OS.

Browser.

Any iOS browser.

I can't say I agree with the "enhancement" classification, unfortunately.

Not being able to see what you're typing or deleting should be considered a reasonably high priority bug.

This is quite clearly a bug, it makes it impossible to see what you're doing when deleting content on mobile.

Please resolve this, as it significantly impacts usability on mobile.

I almost went blind, I wouldn't consider that an enhancement.

Thank you @stefanneculai 👍

@stefanneculai this still appears to be happening, but not on backspace. This time it seems to happen on return.

A user of ours created this video to demonstrate:

I can reproduce the issue too, but perhaps only (or at least more reliably) on this demo:

(We do use the heightMax option so it could be related).

Could this be re-opened please?

@stefanneculai unfortunately we're still having reports of slightly abnormal behaviour with this one (after upgrading to 2.7.6):

@chrisdeeming at this moment we're not doing any special things on enter/backspace. What is happening now is coming from how the browser handles it.

[chrisdeeming]

Thanks @stefanneculai. It does seem similar to what was reported before, in that it does appear as though the image is redrawn which seems odd.

That said, I haven't tried to reproduce it in other editors. That might be telling... I'll report back.
