@abdulrahuman5196 I tried this proposal's alternative and didn't get the regression as above. What do you think about this solution?

@dukenv0307 Did we find the root cause of this issue? What is causing this?

[dukenv0307]

@abdulrahuman5196
In the first solution, we calculated leftString based on newLineIndex and every time we break a line, newLineIndex is recalculated, leading to wrong leftString and atSignIndex.

@abdulrahuman5196 I tried this proposal's alternative and didn't get the regression as above. What do you think about this solution?

@dukenv0307 If we need to implement the alternate solution, it would be better to do a straight revert of the offending PR to unblock staging and to avoid any new regressions from the alternate solution implementation. Since the alternate solution is a different implementation and would need to discuss on that.

@youssef-lr what do you think?

[dukenv0307]

leading to wrong leftString and atSignIndex.

@abdulrahuman5196 On second thought, I saw that atSignIndex is wrong because the left string is cut off from the last break line index meanwhile atSignIndex is the index based on the full string so with my main solution we need to update atSignIndex correctly by adding it with newLineIndex + 1. What do you think about this?

@dukenv0307
Got it. Seems to be good. Can we raise a quick PR on the same?
And do check if any other properties need to be updated?

[dukenv0307]

Thanks, I will raise the PR after a few hours.
