Hi community,
I so far haven´t put much effort into improving this one. But I determined the root cause while working on another project -> it´s JavaScript timing.
Especially when you work with low internet speed (= me when working from home), the jumping fields glitch occurs. In the past I have seen the bug more often, as we had a less powerful server back than.
When saving a Form, certain functions seem to be executed while other operations in the chain weren´t finished yet. This produced the jumping fields. The Form is updated, while the data in the DOM/server wasn´t updated yet. The form editor don´t call the necessary function with async/await, promises or at least some timeouts.
But: I wouldn´t recommend to spent too much on this one. There is a "responsive Form editor" mentioned in the roadmap. It´s targeted to Release 28. I don´t expect it to work perfect in this version cause it´s a brand new feature, but hey - it´s something!
If you are at ACE 2023 - Eli from Aras makes a demo about the new form editor. The new editor it´s probably intended for optimizing Forms for different screen sizes (desktop/mobile/...). But I hope it will result in an general more modern Form editor. Let´s hope they test the new stuff with low internet speed....
