Typing, erasing, cutting, copying, pasting and generally using any text fields in Webflow Designer in Firefox on both Mac and Windows is a fully bugged experience.
Typing quickly is impossible, as Webflow misses every other letter.
Highlighting all text using CTRL+A and immediately hitting backspace or CTRL+X is completely broken, requiring you to click and drag to erase text.
After typing in a text field for more than a minute or just a few lines, if you then wish to copy, paste, cut or type, the box seemingly adopts a mind of its own and will randomly position or remove or add entire paragraphs of text anywhere it wants inside your text box.
Highlighting all text and typing new text in place is fully bugged.
Attempting to type non-bold text after a Bold element is impossible, instead requiring the creative cut & paste of bold text before a non-bold letter, followed by editing the text to finally say what you want.
Using any text box results in a full 1+ second lag between input and result, which is the root cause driving most of the bugs I mention above because Webflow does not remember any inputs that occur during this lag period.
Please fix these high-impact, deeply unpleasant issues that have plagued Webflow for years, especially considering Firefox is an officially supported browser.
I second that and I’m using Chrome. I’ve adapted a really weird way of typing really slowly so letters won’t be missed. So stupid. It also happens with the media panel. The panels restarts a search after every letter and meanwhile won’t let me keep typing, so in the end most of the letters go missing. I have to type “i…m…a…g…e” to find something.
I’m in chrome. The text editor is completely borked. Is there a solution to this? I’ve tried refreshing, signing out and in and nothing works. All text editing is backwards and reversed.
Yep, same issues. I type into notepad on Windows, then copy and paste over into Webflow. It’s very inefficient but it’s more efficient than typing directly which is exceptionally slow and requires a lot of editing for the vaporized characters.
Same thing happening to me, but not on all of my devices. My M1 Pro Macbook Pro does not exhibit this behavior, but my older iMac does… I’m wondering if its a performance optimization issue… This never used to happen so something seems to be requiring more juice. I’d be curious what devices you all are using…
Same is happening here. I first tried it in Firefox, but then the problem also appears in Chrome and Safari. This way it’s impossible to edit the website. I sometimes typed something, and then it’s gone again, when I’m typing it removes complete words on the right side of the cursor, or suddenly starts typing in the middle of the sentence and overwrite everything I’ve done before.
I do use Typekit fonts. Might that be a reason for this problem (not sure about the other comments here)?
I’m using Brave and removed all extensions, for the sake of Weblfow. Disabled ad blockers. No avail. Webflow designer deletes my words, no matter how many times do I type them (trying to create cards inside a grid, but the last card is stuck because half of the title is relentlessly being erased, after restarting the browser several times).
Being new to the platform, I was attempting to build a website on it to try out its features, but if this is not resolved, I will move over to Framer.
SO TRUE! I first noticed a few months ago in chrome that I have to type slowly for webflow to not miss any letters, same as @loewenkunst . I started trying webflow in firefox but there it is even worse: ctrl+a selects all the text, but when trying to delete it it doesn’t do anything.
Typing is BASIC. Like as basic as it gets. This CANNOT CONTINUE!!
Hitting backspace in the middle of a paragraph sometimes removes a random assortment of words. Then, attempting to use CMD+Z will take you back a random assortment of history states, which ultimately renders typing inside of a Webflow text box a large waste of time and a bad user experience.
I face typing-related issues in Webflow at a very high frequency when making even the simplest text manipulations.
