This issue comes from CKEditor itself so, if there is a patch to apply, it should be applied on the plugin level (I'm not even sure it's possible) as it's not related to the core.

@mingxin-yang I had a similar problem with CKEditor and scrolling. For me, it happened when the user pressed the return key. If the grapes document was too long, the canvas scrolled down way to far.

I had to solve the problem in CKEditor itself, by removing this line from the enterkey plugin: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor4/blob/f6dd30807a1c7cb585f376a38fb13dffd2213a75/plugins/enterkey/plugin.js#L432

Maybe there is a similar solution for your scrolling problem.

Thanks for reporting this, @mingxin-yang.

Great question about When pasting text into text, the view scrolls and loses focus. The recommended approach with Components is to use the event-driven API.

Start here:

  1. Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
  2. Look for the on() event listener method
  3. Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events

Common patterns:

// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));

// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
