Hi, I have used Ace editor a few times in my previous projects. Never did I face this problem before of having my cursor misplaced in my Ace editor. Let me guide you step by step Editor markup Here is a markup where I want my Ace editor to show up. [crayon-651e18c425db6114280157/] Then I have this CSS that applies to the editor element CSS [crayon-651e18c425dbd858438426/] Above CSS allow my editor to take entire space within the document body or relatively positioned container. Then comes the Javascript to do its magic [crayon-651e18c425dbe214811782/] Now the editor will show up and I am able to do my thing. However I now have a unique issue where when I start to type the cursor position is a bit far from the text, so basically I have a gap between the expected and actual cursor position in my Ace Editor as shown below It turned out that Ace editor must use monospace font and I was setting fonts on a not so recommended way as shown below [crayon-651e18c425dbf830823468/] Just to check things out and enforcing my editor to use monospace font fixed the issue instantly. This is what I changed my styles for my editor instance to which solved it. [crayon-651e18c425dc0153737986/] I also ended up cleaning the way I was applying my fonts to all my elements by getting rid of * construct. I hope this helps … [Read more...]
