I am _editing_ a `function` node.
I double click on it and I see this:
Note how the `function` part has a grey line and the cursor is there.
Though you can't see it: it is blinking.
Yet, when I start to type, the stuff I type goes into the `Name` field.
Slightly confusing to why.
Has anyone else seen this happen?
I have noticed it a lot because I open the edit screen and click on the `Name` field sometimes and before I start typing something happens because when I start typing: nothing happens.
I have to (again) click in the `Name` field.

Doesn't happen on my browser (Chromium on RaspberryPi)
I have no flashing cursor anywhere
If I type something - it doesn't appear anywhere
I have to explicitly select where I want to type and then I get the flashing cursor

That too is happening.
I brushed over it.
I open a node to edit it's name and click in the `name` field.
I start to type and ...... nothing.
I have to again click in the `name` filed before it will allow me to type.
(Typically: It is behaving itself now when I just tried a few.)

Not with me
As soon as I click in an area - the cursor appears there and starts flashing and I can type stuff there

I may have to remember and try loading Chrome next time and trying it again.

I tried Firefox (on win10 pc) and it DID do a little glitch (but not same as yours)
I dragged Function node out and double-clicked to edit it
The cursor was flashing in the grey line 1 area
I clicked on Name field and started typing and noticed that the cursor was in two places at once!
It was in the name field behaving normally but it was also still flashing in the grey area in line 1
Having cancelled out - I started again but it did not repeat this behaviour - it behaved exactly the same way as Chrome does

Thanks.
(Just because I'm paranoid: Doesn't mean they aren't watching me!) 😉

Appreciated. It is nice to know it isn't only happening to me.
