MarsEdit 3.6.7: Jumpy Text Cursor

November 12th, 2014

MarsEdit 3.6.7 is available now from the MarsEdit home page, and has been submitted to the Mac App Store for review by Apple.

This release comes hot on the tails of 3.6.6, mainly because of a harmless but nonetheless obnoxious bug that was introduced in that release. While typing in either the HTML source or Rich Text editor, if you manually save a local draft of a post (as many people compulsively do), the insertion point cursor in the post would jump to the end or beginning of the post. Frustrating!

3.6.7 addresses this problem and also includes my workaround for the WebKit bug I described in depth a few days ago.

  • Fix a problem from 3.6.6 where saving a local draft caused the insertion point in the post to jump
  • Work around a bug cause a crash when closing documents with active JavaScript running
  • Fix a bug where a long list of blogs could draw funny when scrolling off the bottom of the source list

Hopefully this update will get you back to saving as compulsively as you like, without any resulting hijinx in the editor!
