Issue with typing in item field

Hello-
I’ve been having issues with jittery typing behavior when editing/typing in the item field. Specifically, I’ll be typing normally and the cursor will jump to the end of the character string and continue there. I’ve experienced this issue for the past year or so, with it sometimes improving for a bit. Currently it’s bad again. I’m currently using the most recent version of Chrome, but have also experienced the issue w/other browsers as well. Any thoughts as to why this might be happening?

Same thing here. It’s been really bad for at least a month. In the middle of typing something, the cursor jump to the far right side of the field and the text I’m typing is in two different places.

That jittery typing behavior where the cursor jumps to the end of the text string while editing an item field sounds like a frustrating UX issue. Given that you’ve experienced this across different browsers and for over a year, it might be caused by one (or a mix) of the following factors:

Possible Causes:

  1. Live Auto-Saving & Real-Time Collaboration
  • monday.com updates items dynamically, which can sometimes cause the cursor to jump, especially if multiple users or automations are interacting with the item.
  1. Browser Extensions Conflicting with monday.com
  • Grammarly, ad blockers, or autofill extensions can interfere with monday.com’s text fields.
  • Try disabling them temporarily (especially Grammarly, which is known to cause cursor jumping in monday.com).
  1. Cache, Cookies, or Stored Site Data Issues
  • A corrupted cache can affect how monday.com loads and updates text fields.
  • Try clearing your browser cache and cookies for monday.com:
    • Chrome: Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Browsing Data > Select “Cookies and other site data” & “Cached images and files.”
  1. JavaScript Rendering & API Calls
  • If monday.com is making repeated API calls to sync data in the background, this can reset cursor placement.
  • Open Developer Tools (F12) > Console and check if any errors appear when typing in the item field.
  1. Workspace Automations or Integrations
  • If you have automations updating items while you edit, it might be interrupting input.
  • Try temporarily disabling any Board Automations related to item updates.
  1. Browser-Specific Behavior
  • While you mentioned experiencing this in multiple browsers, some work better than others.
  • Try Edge or Firefox to see if the behavior is different.
  1. monday.com Bugs or Recent Updates

:rocket: Steps to Fix:

  1. Disable extensions (especially Grammarly, ad blockers, autofill tools) and reload monday.com.
  2. Clear cache & cookies and restart your browser.
  3. Try Incognito Mode (if the issue disappears, it’s likely an extension or cache problem).
  4. Check Automations & Integrations that might be interfering.
  5. Test on a different browser or network to rule out local issues.
  6. Check Developer Console (F12 > Console tab) for error messages.
  7. Report it to monday.com support if the issue persists, as they may need to investigate further.

Let me know if any of these steps help!
