Unless I select "View Markdown" I cannot type anything in these text boxes. So, in "View rich text" mode makes every character I type disappear immediately

    Yes, the issue was not at your end. For me, the Rich Text Editor was "miraculously" fixed at around 17h GMT.

    However, don't be too happy. The issue can return. For me, the RTE stopped functioning few minutes ago, but after restarting of the Edge browser, I could use the RTE again.

    Hi,

    If it suddenly started working again without you changing anything, that really does point to something on the site’s side rather than your browser. Sometimes the platform’s editor scripts get briefly updated or cached incorrectly, and once the site pushes a fix or the cache refreshes automatically, everything starts behaving again.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    When every keystroke disappears, it’s almost always the rich text editor acting up because something in your browser’s scripts or cache is misbehaving. A quick cache and cookie clear usually helps since it forces the site to reload fresh scripts instead of broken ones. If it keeps happening, try an Incognito window or a different browser, that’s a quick way to check if an extension (like an ad blocker or script filter) is interfering. I’ve also seen cases where turning off hardware acceleration in browser settings calms things down if it’s a graphics glitch. And if none of that helps, opening the browser console (F12 > Console tab) while it’s happening might show some red error messages, those clues are gold for site admins trying to fix the bug.

    Kind regards,

    Well, I didn't change anything and now it is working again. So most likely this wasn't on my end.

    The Rich Text Editor stopped working again. The reason is again this "looks like multiple versions of prosemirror-model were loaded" error.
