Making a poll entry blank removes it even while editing #7608
Description
Using a supported version?
- I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
Copying from the Signal Desktop Feedback, as a moderator suggested this is an actual bug.
If I have a poll with multiple options and I delete all of the text of one of them, that option is immediately removed and I’m editing the beginning of the next option. This means if I want to re-type a whole option, I must either 1) delete all but one letter, type in the new option, delete the leftover letter, or 2) select-all and then type in the new option.
Steps to reproduce
- Enter a group chat
- Click the "+", select "Poll"
- Enter multiple options
- Focus a non-final option
- Delete all of the text within
Expected result
The option remains alive while I edit it, regardless of contents.
Actual result
The option is immediately deleted and the next option is focused.
