Recent Editor Issues (April 16-17) - Megathread

I’m experiencing it as well. There’s actually a known memory leak in the design tab, which is probably what’s causing all of this. They said they’re aware and are working on a fix.

Initially we thought it was with AIM, but it was confirmed that it was the design tab:

Still doesn’t explain the editor jumping around like crazy, if I have the “element=xyz” url parameter in my url I can’t change pages sometimes

This goes beyond a performance issue, this is new features not working properly

latest bugs I’ve noticed - some long standing (might as well list them all!)

  • 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

API calls not working in Preview Mode, Custom State not working, can’t change pages, etc… Sucks Big Time!

Same here.
Many of the issues happen.
I really hate the fact you cannot rename the workflows on the right panel and I have to click on the left panel. Also when using hotkeys like ctrl + a, ctrl shift left arrow etc. the editor tends to lag, and sometimes even delete a thing I wouldn’t like to be deleted.

I experienced all the above last night as well, was also getting a “oops there’s been an issue” when trying to copy and paste workflows (In addition to buttons with workflows attached showing “add workflow” instead of “edit workflow” as if no workflow existed in the first place).

Someone gave me the heads up to set this to “scheduled releases” (it seems its put on “Immediate release” by default so that you are volunteering yourself to be a guinea pig).

Switching this to scheduled releases all roadblock issues - the elements tree is still doing somersaults when clicking on anything but I just take such things as Bubble “features” these days.

Same here…
A lot of issues in the editor, Things that appear and disappear, display popups that are not displayed, movements, copie/paste, etc that are not made. Lots of small actions that make me fart a cable and make work on the editor impossible!!! :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Crazy annoying, I thought my keyboard was messed up at first.

Never has. The secret is to wait for it to say “Saved” after “Saving…” before hitting the button. If you hit it repeatedly without waiting it WILL mess up.

Edit has been very fast for me in the last few weeks and still is, but definitely seeing weird bugs in addition to the longstanding ones like “combine into one group” messing up the insides 90% of the time.

@fede.bubble just nail @mitchbaylis ’ posts to the wall in the office please. :relieved:

Since we’re making a list, I’ve also noticed that often when you set a group/element to “Collapse when hidden = no”, it will indeed still collapse when hidden, or almost collapse partially. I have two groups side by side, the same except for a text value in one and not the other. If the second groups text is hidden (but set to not collapse), then they do not align.

I suspect this might be due to “apply gap spacing between elements” not acknowledging the hidden group and so not applying the column gap that is otherwise in effect, but sort of defeats the object unless you manually apply margin.

Mine won’t change page - I click on a reusable or page and it flickers and stays on the same one. Have also intermittently not had to ability to undo.

It seems like they updated the editor so it is now auto-centering the elements tree when you click on an element in the tree itself… This makes it impossible to double click elements in the tree if they are not currently selected and completely glitches out the editor when clicking too fast

More evidence Bubble just doesn’t care about quality and just pushed to prod without testing

Editor still not working, can’t change pages… What is going on?

Backend workflow tab in the editor also does not work anymore, it just takes you to the design tab… This is pretty serious… @fede.bubble how does this get pushed to prod?

I had the same issue while using chrome, switched to Firefox and I am able to change pages.

Really wish Bubble: The full-stack no-code app builder was still around. Guess I’m staying off the editor for a few days.

@jonathan26 , I just tried Safari and same issues, nothing working. In Firefox, try switching pags back and forth see if it works.

Yeah, its working! I also had an issue in Chrome where if i clicked on any element or group while in responsive it would kick me back into UI. In Firefox its working fine.

I am trying to login using Firefox, I enter my login and I am stuck at the 2 Factor auth, no emails coming through either… so I can’t even login using Firefox. Which means Bubble email notification is not working either among many other issues. Amazing!

other longstanding bugs that came up today whilst working

  • 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

the editor today had it’s bad moments with a few crashes throughout the day but overall was fairly stable - much more stable than yesterday for sure. Seems to have gotten more stable as the day progressed.

Hi everyone. I checked with the team and they are investigating a potential regression that would explain these recent issues in the editor.
They are fixing asap (might already be fixed by the time I’m writing this)
