Cursor jumps after refactoring about js-assistant HOT 5 CLOSED

In a lot of cases it seems to just work (as in, the cursor remains at the same position).

It works when the edit does not touch the cursor. Otherwise, the cursor will be placed at the boundaries.

I doubt this will be useful for you though.

I recommend you to explicitly set the cursor after sending the edit.

Thanks for the bug report! I'll take a look - it seems the text the cursor was originally at got removed in this case. Do you know how VSCode updates the position on edits? In a lot of cases it seems to just work (as in, the cursor remains at the same position).

Thanks! Moving the cursor seems like a good approach, agreed.

I have trouble reproducing this bug with P42 v1.121.2 and VS Code v1.68.1. Which VS Code version are you using?

One of the things that could be causing this is that P42 sometimes produces larger-than-needed edits. I'll add a edit minimizer soon, this should potentially deal with some of this, but until I can reproduce it I can't say for certain.

Another reason could be that there is some text edited that is off-screen in your recording. Could you share the original snippet in case you still have it?

I've tried this again with VS Code 1.69 and P42 v1.124.0 (which minimizes edits). I can't reproduce the bug for this combination. Please re-open if you still run into it.
