Move cursor in between text on input fields

[thienedits]

On Nexus 5 in Chrome I can not place the cursor in between the characters in the input text field.

@thienedits I made an update so that after focusing on an input it doesn't preventDefault. The preventDefault was originally put in because a wrapping label would also try to set its focus 300ms later, but because the keyboard slide up and the location of the inputs changed, 300ms later a different input would receive focus.

(this code was originally in poly.js, its now in tap.js)

#583

Since then we've changed that by stopping the label's default and propagation, so removing preventDefault here shouldn't cause issues. Would you be able to get the nightly build and test out the change? Along with making sure the input you tapped keeps its focus?

Hi @adamdbradley I just tested this on my nexus 5 using nightly 1.0.0-beta.1-nightly-1589 (2014-04-07) and now can select between the characters. Also the input focus is maintained after scrolling. Thanks!

I have this issue on latest ionic version(well, started project 3 days ago - 08.07.14).
Used ionic start myApp tabs (as the guy here: http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/solved-text-input-cannot-be-edited/2655)
Any ideas?

<ion-view title="Feedback">
  <ion-content class="has-header padding">
    <form name="feedback" ng-submit="submitFeedback(userFeedback)">
        <div class="list">
            <label class="item item-input">
                <textarea  placeholder="Your feedback" rows="9" ng-model="userFeedback"></textarea>
            </label>
        </div>
        <button class="button button-block button-positive" type="submit">
            Send feedback. Thanks :3
        </button>
    </form>
  </ion-content>
</ion-view>

Actually full code. I read everywhere that it is fixed. But it's not.
I don't use any custom css or js libraries, just ionic.

@rivf thanks for the code, what device and version of iOS or Android are you using?

Placing the cursor in input text/texarea is still not working on Android / LG Optimus G (Cyanogenmod).
Thanks

Greetings, @rivf and @juppwerner!

My sensors indicate that more information is required so that I may assist you.

• Can you provide a detailed description of this issue?
• How would a robot go about replicating this issue?
• What platform does this happen on? (iOS, Android, all, etc.)
• What platform versions does this happen on? (Android 4.2, iOS 7, all, etc.)
• Is this an issue with the Ionic Framework, or Ionic CLI?

Additionally, providing a codepen which replicates the issue is extremely helpful.

If you wish to get help using the framework itself, the recommended place is the forum.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

Hello, I still have same issue with ionic 1.3.1 or the latest nightly release ionic#f9b3fbe95e on android 4.4.4 samsung galaxy tab E.
It works fine on chrome.
EDIT: I just noticed this error only occurs when activating the ngMaterial plugin.
