Formula Builder Cursor Position Incorrect

Question

When editing a formula in the new formula builder, for example in a rich text field, where you position the cursor and where the edit takes places is not correct. For example I can position my cursor after a field name such as [fieldname] and start typing, but the text I type appears about 4 - 5 characters to the right in the middle of another part of my formula.

Is anyone else having this problem? It's the same in both Safari and Chrome

So it appears this actually is only limited to Safari, not Chrome.. very frustrating though

I have this exact problem in Chrome under Windows 10. Did you ever get resolution? The number of characters that the cursor is offset is a function of the length of the formula itself.&nbsp;

Here is what happensIf my formula is&nbsp;[Eval.Date Received]+Days(20)and I position the cursor at the end and type an X, I get this:[Eval.Date ReceiveXd]+Days(20)My work around is to edit a formula in notepad and paste it, but obviously that's not a real solution.This only happens on my desktop, not on any other computer.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
