Bug Description

When editing a Post-request script and I already have some code above the line I am working on, the editor starts acting very strange. After every character (or every other) you type, it auto-adds a space after each character you type. This makes it very difficult to edit your scripts. In order for the editor to 'act correctly' you have to remove all the lines below the line you are working on.

Deployment Type

Self-hosted (on-prem deployment)

Version

No response

This appears specific to the Desktop App. @CuriousCorrelation, please take a look.

Could you mention the browser in which this is reproducible? For instance, this issue is reproducible in Safari, and as a result, it's also observable in the Mac OS Desktop App, since it uses Safari's webview renderer. In the meantime, you can opt out of the experimental scripting sandbox via Settings > Experiments, falling back to the scripting editors based on CodeMirror instead of Monaco.

Do you want a video of the desktop issue? You mention that you're able to reproduce so I'm assuming no, but happy to do so.

I did as this mentioned (turning off the 'Experimental Scripting Sandbox' and the issue is no longer on the Mac desktop app.

This happened to me as well on Google Chrome on a MacOS using the Web App ^^

Could you mention the snippet used alongside the steps to reproduce/ the behaviour observed in this scenario?

Any use of the new hopp global variable instead of pw - basically anything new to the experimental box. I'm guessing the use of crypto too, etc.

// Set timestamp variable
const timestamp = Date.now();
hopp.env.active.set("timestamp", timestamp.toString());

for example.
