Text only shows up later

Bugs with Hopscotch
#1

1 sentence description of the problem:

The text in the ‘text’ block will only show up in a few seconds.

Steps to reproduce the problem every time:

1.Use a “set text” block.
2.Type something in it.
3.Look at the block in the code.
4.Text will only show in a few seconds.

I expected this to happen:
The text in the code, will immediately show.

But instead this happened:
The text only showed in a few seconds.

Yeah, this happens to me all the time. To fix this, just tap away to stop typing then just tap a piece of code 1 or 2 times, it should be good :]

Edit: whoops I’m talking about another bug :[

this was intentional so when you undo, you dont need to undo one letter at a time. but i agree that in terms of ui, it should show what’s currently beeing written. this suggestion belongs more to #hopscotch-language-evolution than #hopscotch-bugs

Works as intended. It was made this way so Undo doesn’t just undo one letter at a time, which would’ve been time consuming.

Although, a lot of apps with undo would’ve just waited until the user was done (tapped done) before saving the change to the undo history.

This is currently intentional as others mentioned.

This is the case in Hopscotch as well, but it additionally saves after you paused typing, in case you are interrupted^^

About that, if you exit the code window before the changes are saved, the changes will be canceled.

I do think it should save in that case when you exit the code window — I will make a new topic.

Longer-term, we were thinking that it might be nice to be able to expand to a full screen text box to edit, rather than the small box above the keyboard. The current behaviour would make sense for this, but I agree it can be a bit confusing at the moment.
