Description:
closes #230
This PR addresses an odd UX behavior in the text editor. Before the fix, when a user was adding new lines at the bottom of the page, the editor didn't automatically scroll to the new line. Instead, it waited until the user began typing. This issue also affected pasted text, where the editor did not respond at all.
Changes include:
useEffect
hook which updates the editor state to focus on the new line once it's created.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded
to ensure that the new line is brought into view when added, even if it's created by pasting text from the clipboard.With these changes, the editor should now auto-scroll to a new line when it's created, improving the user experience.
