I am having the same issue on Microsoft Edge which makes it very difficult to pretty much unusable. Here is a video of it in action: ​http://g.recordit.co/zIvBqQXZWl.gif

Any way we can bump this up to High Priority?

I am testing on:

Microsoft Edge 25.10586.0.0

Microsoft EdgeHTML 13.10586

The gif you have provided gives HTTP 403.

You say that this issue makes editor unusable but in reality how often do you click between editor border and text. I have been using the editor for 5 years now and know this isn't something I do every day.

Could you elaborate on that?

Please don't change the version number. It is used to show when problem has started occurring.

Can you try the gif again? It is still working for me. ​http://g.recordit.co/zIvBqQXZWl.gif

Perhaps I was wrong on saying that it isn't usable it is extremely difficult to use using the Microsoft Edge Browser.

Basically say you are writing some text and then you want to delete the first word so you click on the beginning of the line it just scrolls to the top.

I'm still getting 403. You as the creator may have access to it but most likely no one else has it. You could try attaching this give to the ticket.

Your description however explains exactly what the problem is. In general in IE if the is no focus in editor, you scroll down and click between text/border, you will get scroll up effect. This happens in all browsers.

In IE11- if you click somewhere in editor, scroll down and click between text/border, cursor stays in previously clicked place.

In Edge when you click between text/border there is always scroll. It doesn't matter if there is focus in editor or not.

Weird I was able to see the 403 now. Here is the gif:

Hey CKEdtior team, are there any plans to address this issue? It's been open for well over a year and many users are migrating or have migrated to Windows 10 now.

Thanks!

I have checked this issue and it is still reproducible in IE11 and it has improved a bit in Edge 38.14393.1066.0. When you click at the beginning of the line, there is no scrolling however cursor is not being put at the point of click but at the start of the content area and when you start typing it scrolls up.

I will ask if there can be done anything about this issue.

Ok, that was quick. This is browser issue. Please see: ​https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues/483.
