Cursor jumps out of text area

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,
I am using Servoy 5.2.4 and I am encounterring this weird issue when typing in a text area: at a certain moment the cursor jumps out of the text area. You can see in this movie, it jumps when the upper calculation Notitie is updated: http://screencast.com/t/BNnig5I0LvJ. Do you know why this is happening?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Mihaela,

Do you perhaps have a scheduler job running as well ?
When such a cronjob is triggered during your data entry it will cause the field to loose focus.

Hope this helps.

Some of my users experience the same problem at random intervals. It can be reduced by saving on entering the field…

Hi Robert, there was no cronjob running at the time of the test.
Christian, can you please explain what you mean by “It can be reduced by saving on entering the field” ?

We have users also reporting this behaviour sometimes. We also thought it was cron jobs for a while, but have the same problem when all crons are turned off.

We’ve had this issue for awhile and have traced it to data broadcasts. See previous thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14665

Sorrt for not spotting this question before: You attach a script which does a

databaseManager.saveData();

to the onFocusGained event on the text area. It is possible you may need to script the cursor back into the text area by doing a requestFocus() on the field as the last step of the script.
In out case, this has helped a bit.
