Cursor position misplaced
Hey, I've checked your code and tried to debug it. It seems to me that the code is not passing the mouse event to the onActive method, which is needed: ```js componentEl.addEventListener('click', (ev) => { component.view.onActive(ev); });

Thanks for reporting this, @Harshsne26.
Great question about Cursor position misplaced. The recommended approach with GrapesJS is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - 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));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
