fix: improve backspace behavior near run boundaries for tracked changes by palmer-cl · Pull Request #2175 · superdoc-dev/superdoc

palmer-cl · 2026-02-25T19:15:32Z

Fix backspace near runs with inline bookmarks
Normalize single-character delete tracking: broad ReplaceStep deletions that remove one character are rewritten into precise single-char deletes, improving track-changes marks and caret placement after deletions.
Add regression coverage

Another note - I also fixed an existing issue where highlight + delete across run boundaries was not working

 import { Selection } from 'prosemirror-state';

+const findPreviousTextDeleteRange = (doc, cursorPos) => {
+  for (let pos = cursorPos - 1; pos > 0; pos -= 1) {


this scans all the way back to the start of the doc. if a run only has bookmarks and no text, it'll skip past the paragraph and delete from the one above.

maybe limit the search to the current paragraph with $cursor.start()?.
