URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd&action=edit&section=80

Browser / Version: Firefox 94.01
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Other

Problem type: Something else
Description: WikEd with Wikipedia: cursor jumps to top after pasting
Steps to Reproduce:
There is an issue with Firefox 94 when editing Wikipedia with the WikEd editor enabled. I have searched but not seen it reported.

It has been reported on the WikEd Talk page by several people, with no resolution reported: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd#Loses_text_highlighting_after_toggle_uppercase_first_%E2%86%92_uppercase and the next section, "Cursor jumps to top of edit box, WikEd with Firefox 94"

Specifically, when editing any Wikipedia page or section with the WikEd editor enabled instead of the standard Wikipedia editor, if text is pasted into the page, the cursor jumps to the top of the page, and the page scrolls up if there is more text than fits the screen. Normal behaviour is that the cursor stays at the end of the inserted text.

Other uses report that this happens with Firefox 94 (and 94.1) only, in normal and Troubleshooting (to disable extensions) modes, under Windows and macOS, and does not happen with other browsers, older Firefoxes, or Firefox for Android. Link to discussion is above.

To replicate: open a Wikipedia page that is not too short (to show scrolling), click "Edit Source", enable the WikEd editor by clicking a "pencil and paper" icon at bottom left of a cluster of icons above the edit window at the top left, scroll down so that the top of the text is not displayed, and insert some text anywhere. The text will be inserted, but the box will scroll to the top, and the cursor will be at the beginning of text. Normally the cursor would be positioned at the end of the new insertion. This may be an issue with WikEd or with Firefox 94.
