Editable text after remove focus of RTE, returns back previous state of content.
You shouldn't have "content" inside your text span, indeed if you replace it with "components": "[email protected]", it will work properly.

Describe the bug
That is my components struct
{
"type": "link",
"components": [
{
"type": "image",
"attributes": {
"src": "http://localhost:8003/swt/upload/files/svg_images/envelope-square-solid.svg",
}
},
{
"tagName": "span",
"type": "text",
"content": "[email protected]",
}
]
}
If I change the text in the span tag in the text editor, then remove focus from that word, it returns the previous state of the text. The structure of the components looks normal, a link, but inside the picture and text inside the span tag.

Thanks for reporting this, @sdimitrenco.
The issue with editable text after remove focus of RTE, returns back previous state of content. appears to be a race condition or state management timing problem. This typically happens when component lifecycle events and DOM modifications overlap, creating an inconsistent state.
What to try:
- Add a setTimeout wrapper to ensure the DOM has settled:
setTimeout(() => {
// your operation here
}, 0);
-
Check initialization order β make sure components are fully loaded before you interact with them
-
Use the editor's event system β listen to completion events:
editor.on('component:mount', (component) => {
// safe to interact with component here
});
Recommended next steps:
- Test with the latest GrapesJS version if you haven't
- Provide a minimal reproducible example (CodeSandbox) β this helps the team identify the root cause faster
- Include GrapesJS version, browser, and console errors in your report
