Recent Editor Issues (April 16-17) - Megathread

Consolidating all threads here

Hi all, the Bubble editor experienced a recent regression that caused odd behavior like tweaks, jumping elements, twitches, etc.
I’m bringing all related posts about this under one discussion topic to keep things organized.

Thank you for your patience while the team works on a fix.

Here is another one that is super annoying @fede.bubble

Every time I paste today the element goes to the top of the group, not where I paste it or even to the bottom.

In the last 2 days, in most cases I can no longer use the undo/redo actions, they are disabled.

Is it just me?

5

YES! That is another bug that I noticed too. Refreshing the page is a temporary fix. Again, @fede.bubble This was another bug that I was talking about.

6

This is getting extremely annoying. Whenever I click on an element, the page autoscrolls so the top of that element is at the top of the page and it just disrupts my flow.

it is also doing the same thing in the elements tree where if I click an element, the elements tree will then scroll down so that whatever I clicked is now in the middle(?) of the elements tree.

I’m assuming this is intentional, but it is so offputting because I can’t get around the editor as easily as before and it is really slowing me down

I really dislike how changes are made and it makes it much harder to build on bubble.

7

YES! Same here. Another bug @fede.bubble I’m telling you, this is not a good day for Bubble.

The mouse was jumping around in the elements tree, definitely not supposed to be doing that.

Like hitting your head to the roof, it’s been like this since new design came up around 1 year I think.

But elements tree one is from today

In addition,

  • When closing elements tree item, it doesnt close, first it closes child elements 1 or 2
  • Copy and pasting the url for double editor use does not change current page when clicked afterwards

Oh, how great!!! Because of this wonderful “cool feature” I accidentally deleted a large group and now I can’t get it back through history because my deletion didn’t save in history…:smiling_face_with_tear::smiling_face_with_tear:

the bubble editor has been super glitchy today

  • clicks not responsive
  • right click menu stuck open
  • page/reuseables menu not searching
  • style manager text not editable after initial edit
  • data sources on the page not showing up to be mapped
  • freezing constantly/randomly even after hard refreshes
  • copy and paste unresponsive
  • super laggy

I’ve checked my task manager on windows and my internet
RAM at 40%
CPU at 25%
internet 300mbs up and down latency 4ms
tested in 3 different browsers all with the same issues

honestly bubble get your act together and stop yo-yo-ing the editor. one day it’s working great, the next it’s fallen to bits. even intraday it’s inconsistent.

I’m not even doing heavy things in the editor right now and it is frozen and glitchy. I’m just trying to add an element to a reuseable (which has less than 15 elements itself) - so what gives?

I decided to start a tally of all the bugs I’m finding and have been ignoring assuming bubble would fix them eventually… (I’ll keep this list updated)

  • added elements not adding into the chosen area (just adds to top)
  • help menu navigation not clickable after a while (haven’t been able to narrow down what causes this but seems to be after an extended time of the tab being open)
  • page reloads to blank screen and has to be hard reloaded (happens occasionally)
  • seriously downgraded page load/editor preview load times
  • initial load of editor page takes ages for the page to finish caching/loading
  • reuseable element previews inconsistent/not correct to defaulted states
  • backend data manager super slow to load - slower than building a page with a repeating group to view the data!
  • new reuseable/page manager search not working on some page loads, works after page refresh
  • undo/redo not working consistently
  • on some page loads nothing shows until I click a tab on the left
  • input focus not holding after/whilst typing into property inputs
  • values clearing randomly if clicked in property inputs
  • newly created pages and reuseable elements not showing in menu until page is refreshed (happens occasionally)
  • right click window appearing away from mouse on right click - often 100 to 200px away
  • data mapping dropdown not alphabetical - seems to be ordered by created or last modified?
  • key smash on reuseable renaming can inadvertantly delete everything on the existing page (I think when I click backspace? seems to not be restricted to the reuseable create pop name input field. possibly the input field is not focused on open? - anyway it’s the keyboard shortcuts from the keystrokes that delete the page data)
  • right click menu being extremely slow to load
  • removed field from api workflow still has mapping and shows in search - but cannot be removed since the field doesn’t exist
  • deleted option sets return and display when used with filter
  • deleted fields and data still returned to page (and data still charged in WU presumably)
  • no way to delete data from deleted fields once “cleaned up” - the data still displays and it cannot even be cleared
  • running bulk operation on backend data very often starts with no data in the list, you have to select something then unselect it to populate the full list to process
  • backend data manager doesn’t show actual data after a change, you have to change tables to refresh the table (feels like a bug since frontend is real time)
  • occasionally combining elements into a group jumbles the order of them - often in reverse order. happens inconsistently

Honestly where is the QA team on all of these?

I love bubble - but all these bugs are so frustrating especially since I’ve been putting up with them for so long.

The last hour has been fine again in the editor…

Is bubble just gaslighting me? and doing server updates and increased load in asian timezone?

the editor seems to go through waves of working fine and being unbearably bugging and tedious

13

my bubble editor has also been very glitchy today, so it’s not just you

14

few other bugs noticed today

  • new reuseable/page manager search not working on some page loads, works after page refresh
  • undo/redo not working consistently
  • on some page loads nothing shows until I click a tab on the left
15

Yeah i boil down these instances to Bubble doing updates.

I’m based in Singapore and fortunately I don’t experience maintenance disruptions as often as those in other timezones, from my own experience.

16

Yes. I was having a lot of the same issues. @fede.bubble

I noticed every time I select an element in the editor it creates a lag spike, then I noticed this URL parameter that is tracking the element IDs you are highlighting

Seems this is part of it, but I went from using like 2-3gb of ram on a small page to now 6

Scared to even open a large page

18

Yeah, similar issues here.
Elements are pasted weird with different layout settings
Elements do not show on the editor
Copy/paste conditions and elements are not working

19

Just lost 1 hour of work, copy & paste with workflows doesnt work.

thank you for your replies - in a way there is comfort in knowing the issues I’m having with the editor are shared by others as well

@fede.bubble

I’m an avid user of bubble and use it full time everyday. Is there any way you can start to focus on fixing some of these bugs and the editor memory usage issues? A lot of effort has gone into building AI and changing the interface and these efforts are great - but the underlying bugs are really frustrating and they seem like much simpler things to fix (maybe they aren’t?)

A manual “clear cache” button in the editor would even work - when it starts to bog down the user can click and reset. Could show a warning to confirm losing cached content like copy/paste, undos, searches etc.
