Input Cursor about contextsearch-web-ext

[ssborbis]

Could you disable the search results highlighting and see if it continues to happen? I cant seem to get that bug and I'm trying to narrow it down for you.

As far as I'm aware, this addon doesn't do anything with the cursor position. I'm not sure why that would happen, but you could probably add some post-search script to your google engine that moves the cursor to the end.

Something like...

{
  let input = document.querySelector('textarea');
  input.focus();
  input.selectionStart = input.value.length;
}

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to work.
I also tried reinstalling the extension so it loads with most defaults and only thing I changed was it to auto show quick menu. That didn't work so I thought maybe its one of the many many other extensions I have installed so I tried in private mode just enabling this extension and I tried it on the Edge Beta I have installed that has no extensions except this one. I captured a video and I my observation is it doesn't seem to move the cursor all the time. Its more than half the time so its just so frustrating. If you see in the video below the cursor moves to the beginning on the 2nd search. So far I've only notice this happening on Google

When you land on google.com, are you clicking anything to get the dropdown menu (suggestions) on the search field? It seems to be opening by itself. I don't seem to have that as my default behavior in either Firefox, Edge, or Chrome.

I am clicking anywhere but usually at the end of the search term last letter so I can start typing. As soon as I do the search suggests dropdown comes out.

Just did it again just to make sure I answered you correctly.
As soon as google.com opened I clicked at the end of the last letter where the search box is.
The cursor went from the end to the start.
Had to click at the end again to place cursor and add additional search terms.

Thank you. That fixed it I think. I did 10 tests and the issue did not appear once.
This is great
