Escape while editing checklist item closes card

Escape while editing checklist item closes card

IIRC, pressing escape while editing a checklist item used to cancel out of edit mode for the item. Now it closes the card, which is pretty annoying.

Is this an intentional change or a bug?

I'm using Firefox 120 on Linux (Kubuntu 23.10)..

Hi @tomatic I'm able to reproduce the behavior that you're seeing, and I can confirm that it used to cancel editing like you say instead of closing the card. I don't believe this behavior change was intentional, so I'm opening a bug report with our engineering team.

My board restarts when I'm adding an item in checklist. It closes and pops up again. Can anything be done about this? I'm using mac os 13.4

Hi @Sam This issue was fixed months ago, and I am not currently able to reproduce. Can you share what browser you are using?

@tomatic / @Sam I can reproduce this is Firefox - reopening the bug. Thanks again for reporting!

Hi @Andrea Crawford I'm using Firefox 126.0 and Google Chrome 125.0.6422... on either of them the issue persists. Submitted a support ticket, too.

Hi. You should also write about that to Support:
https://support.atlassian.com/contact

Though, for me (Chrome/Mozilla, web, Win10) this particular thing seems to have been fixed. At least for now.

@tomatic Sorry that this has been such a troublesome issue. We're currently rolling out an update that will fix it. When this is rolled out 100% I'll jump back in to ensure it's working for you.

@tomatic @Andrea Crawford Can confirm that this bug is a thing again. Hasn't been fixed yet, Chrome/Web.

@Sam Can you please share steps to reproduce? As mentioned in my previous comment, we rolled out an update that should make this bug impossible, and it's currently rolled out to 100% of customers.

Here's what I'm doing, across all browsers, and I'm not able to reproduce esc closing the entire card. Can you try these steps and let me know what happens? If you're seeing buggy behavior I'll need to collect some more information.

Navigate to a board and refresh the browser window to start fresh
Click on a card that contains a checklist
Click on a checklist item to enter edit mode
Type to edit the item (...or don't type ... it shouldn't matter)
Press ESC key

Result: Edit mode on the checklist item should exit, but the card should remain open. Pressing esc a second time should close the card now that the item is no longer being edited.

Just for the record, I just tested this in Firefox 131.0 (which is where it was still happening for me previously) and it is indeed fixed there. Pressing Esc while editing a checklist item only cancels out of editing the checklist item but doesn't close the card.

I also tested in Chrome 129.0.6668.89 and it's fixed there too.
