[Bug] TinyMCE Editor Becomes Unresponsive After Moving Items in Repeatable Field

[h-koba]

Bug report

What I did

I am utilizing the TinyMCE editor within a repeatable field in Laravel Backpack. When I tried to change the order of items within the repeatable field by moving an item, the TinyMCE editor within the moved field became unresponsive.

What I expected to happen

I expected the TinyMCE editor to continue functioning normally, allowing text editing even after moving items within the repeatable field.

What happened

After moving an item within the repeatable field, the TinyMCE editor in the moved field became unresponsive and I was unable to edit text within it.

Is it a bug in the latest version of Backpack?

After I run composer update backpack/pro the bug... is it still there?

Yes, the bug is still present after updating.

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

When I run php artisan backpack:version the output is:

• Laravel Version: 10.29.0
• Backpack Version: backpack/crud: 6.2.4, backpack/pro: 2.0.18
• PHP Version: 8.1
• Database Type & Version: MySQL 8.0.30

I noticed the same problem on my side using TinyMCE in repeatable fields and changing the order.

I think that the instance of the TinyMCE object is based on a reference to the DOM which is lost following the change of order in the repeatable. I didn't really investigate the problem because I quickly changed editors to summernote.

Hey @h-koba,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I can confirm that it's reproducible and thus we will add this to our backlog to be worked on in an upcoming release.

If you are able to come up with a PR, we'd be happy to review & merge, too.

Cheers
