Games played in Quixe, in (desktop, macos) Chrome, have spontaneously begun to misbehave as far as placing the text cursor to the right of the command prompt. This seems to be a problem with Chrome moreso than with Quixe (it’s not happening in Safari or on mobile), but I don’t know why it would happen regardless!
The cursor seems to be in the correct place to begin with:
But when I start typing, it moves to the left, behaving as if the command prompt isn’t there:
Oddly, when I try to inspect the text to figure out what the heck is going on, the whole input field pops back into the right place:
I haven’t seen this happen, but browsers are always changing and introducing new bugs. Which version of Quixe is it? Does it happen in Lectrote? Though Lectrote uses an older version of Chrome so…
Looks like it happens because the input field is absolutely positioned in relation to an inline element, which is a Chromium bug reported here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1001438 (they’re saying it’s going to be fixed for not the next Chrome release but the one after that.)
You can monkeypatch it by adding this CSS somewhere on the page:
No, if it works correctly now it’ll keep working later as well. The entire command line should preferably be changed anyway to use flexbox now that it has universal browser support, instead of using Javascript to calculate the input field width.
