BUG: Extending text component breaks textable blocks

Question

GrapesJS version

  • I confirm to use the latest version of GrapesJS

What browser are you using?

Version 102.0.5005.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Reproducible demo link

https://jsfiddle.net/trh1sbmk/17/

Describe the bug

How to reproduce the bug?

  1. GoTo supplied fiddle.
  2. Drag "Extended text component" block into editor.
  3. Try to drag "Textable Component" block into text of previous block.

What is the expected behavior? You are able to drag the textable block anywhere within the text inside of the block extended from the existing "text" component.

What is the current behavior? You can only drag to the beginning of text.

This is mentioned in #3681 but it was closed.

So yeh, same behaviour as before textable components being fixed in #2771 . It's strange as it lets you drag a textable block in, but then forces what you are dragging to the beginning of the sentence. You can then navigate yourself using arrow keys to the beginning of the sentence and move/edit as normal.

Thanks @skru yes, there is an internal issue I have to fix to properly handle extended text components but once it's fixed another thing to keep in mind when you extend text components, it's to use components property instead of content.

defaults: {
        tagName: 'p',
        style: {padding: "25px"},
        droppable: true,
-       content: "Hello extended text component World!!"
+       components: "Hello extended text component World!!"
},
