Whenever I copy/past something or add a URL to a piece of text in a long text field in an Interface, the long text, whenever long enough, jumps to the top of the screen, forcing me to scroll down again. I’ve sent a message to Airtable support about this some months ago, but don’t see any improvements. Anyone else with this issue? ---

> [@Databaser](#): > > Anyone else with this issue? Three big clients have complained about exactly this. I don’t think Airtable regards this as a bug and likely because they couldn’t do much about it anyway. Because it’s a field, I don’t think they have any sense of where the cursor is. The answer is that a long text field (in Airtable) is really just a text field with a higher limit and some formatting features. Text fields tend to have this behaviour. Ideally, Airtable would change this to a canvas object where events could be handled by Airtable or by developers and cursor location would always be exposed in the event model. I don’t see this in the cards. ---

This may be related to another problem I had a few weeks ago with the “Field description” field. When the field notes were too long (below and above the visible box size) and when I would past into it text from clipboard, the description would jump back to top of the description field and I would need to scroll down back to where I pasted the new element of the text. This started about 1 month ago. This week it was fixed and no longer have the issue. Never received a response to support email though. So maybe resent them a message and post also on their official Airtable forum maybe the staff will see. ---

The issue is bag and even worse. Is it just me having issue with the Description of a field? Now every time I try to edit existing description, the cursor just jumps at the end of the description. I can’t edit existing text. And when I past the text it also jumps to the end. This is specifically in Description field. I have not had the issue described above with Long text field. But from what is described here the issues are similar if not related. Wondering if I have installed something ugly or what is happening. This is MacOS and Chrome so not to argue whether it has viruses or not but I am starting to have doubts about what is going on. ---

Not just you. I was having this problem today too.
