Right clicking inside CodeMirror instance causes textarea to show from then on

[yelvert]

This happens only in chrome and only in certain circumstances that I haven't been able to narrow down yet. When I right click my CodeMirror instance the hidden textarea shows up and never goes away.

It is caused by setting position: fixed here https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/blob/master/lib/codemirror.js#L1464, but removing the position: fixed from that cssText causes the context-menu to not have copy/cut/paste #3238

It seems like Chrome doesn't respect the position: absolute when it gets changed back in the rehide function.

I have added opacity: 0 to the textarea and everything seems to work. Anyone know of any issues it might could cause?

So after putting back the cssText (which presumably contains a position: absolute) the element's .style.position is still "fixed"? I don't want to sweep the bug under the rug with an opacity: 0, I'd rather figure out what is going wrong and how we can work around it. Is there any way I can reproduce the issue?

I haven't been able to figure out what causes this bug to manifest. I can tell you that where this bug shows up for me, that the screen shot above is from, is deeply nested inside several absolute positioned elements several of which are animated. I can actually cause this bug just by setting the textarea's position to fixed, then changing it back to absolute, with 0 right clicks.

Interesting. If you can submit a (minimal) test HTML page that allows me to reproduce this, that would be useful.

Hi, I have the same problem!! Any have a good solution!!!

Closing until a test case shows up.

Same issue here, we're using CodeMirror with ui-codemirror.

Don't know how to reproduce, but will submit a test HTML when I can reproduce it.
