From 4cc21ad078376e88e184d6701311c1edbe0f3285 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tadeu Tupinamba Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:17:48 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(track-changes): allow backspace on empty list items in suggesting mode (SD-2187) When all text in a list item was deleted in suggesting mode (marked as trackDelete), pressing backspace to remove the bullet did nothing. The replaceAroundStep handler blocked the structural change because findPreviousLiveCharPos returned null (no un-deleted text left). Allow the structural ReplaceAroundStep (e.g. lift out of list) to apply when there are no live characters remaining. Structural changes aren't tracked yet, but blocking them leaves the user stuck on an empty bullet they can't remove. --- .../trackChangesHelpers/replaceAroundStep.js | 9 +- .../replaceAroundStep.test.js | 84 +++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/super-editor/src/extensions/track-changes/trackChangesHelpers/replaceAroundStep.js b/packages/super-editor/src/extensions/track-changes/trackChangesHelpers/replaceAroundStep.js index 0eee67ccb8..dcbaae6228 100644 --- a/packages/super-editor/src/extensions/track-changes/trackChangesHelpers/replaceAroundStep.js +++ b/packages/super-editor/src/extensions/track-changes/trackChangesHelpers/replaceAroundStep.js @@ -110,7 +110,14 @@ export const replaceAroundStep = ({ const deleteFrom = findPreviousLiveCharPos(doc, state.selection.from, trackDeleteMarkType); if (deleteFrom === null) { - // No live character found — nothing to delete.
