Support for the Grammarly extension
complete
Peter Godden
When typing out a meeting's notes, Grammarly likes to jump in and tell me I can't spell. However when I click the option to fix the spelling, it highlights the actions part of the window instead. Then I have to manually make the change which is painful. See attached gif.

The Grammarly team have notified us that the extension is re-enabled for Hugo. However, they have disabled the auto-correct feature.
The extension will continue to check for spelling errors to be fixed manually.

Hi everyone,
We have spoken to the Grammarly team and confirmed that the latest issues re text/cursor jumbling are related to a bug between Grammarly's auto-correct feature and the library that our composer is built on. The Grammarly team are working on a fix, that they intend to deploy within the next two weeks.
Until then, they will disable their extension for the hugo.team domain to avoid issues in the meantime.

It seems that previous work to accept Grammarly inputs has regressed and use of the extension is causing issues. We will investigate the cause and update when we have next steps.

Also using spell check in Edge browser causes the corrected word to be inserted at the start if the note.

Chris Bradley: thanks for reporting this. At the moment we officially support Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Do you get the same problem in any of those browsers?

Hey everyone.
We appreciate your patience here! The Grammarly extension is now supported when composing in Hugo 🤓.
We have tested this quite a lot internally. However, please let me know if you run in to any issues after enabling the extension again and we will investigate asap.

Josh Lowy: I tried it and I had to disable Grammarly again because it caused the same problem, some words being auto-corrected and split and sentences not making sense. Hit me up if you want more info or we can troubleshoot together.
Josh Lowy
Pierre Steckmeyer: can you please log out and back in to ensure you're on the latest version of Hugo? If the issue persist can you please share a screen recording so that we can investigate further on our end. Thanks!
Pierre Steckmeyer
Josh Lowy: I followed your instructions and tried to break it this morning. Didn't happen. Please consider this closed until I can produce some evidence.

Josh Lowy: I see the Grammarly extension integration as "complete" — but you should know that it is unusable. "Complete" but "unusable" is perhaps more accurate.
For fast typing, the cursor gets thrown to the beginning of the sentence, or entire segments of text being typed get pre-pended to a sentence when the Grammarly extension is active. Disabling Grammarly stops this behavior. With Grammarly active, Hugo is unusable for note-taking.
The phenomenon appears to be related to both Hugo and Grammarly sending text to their respective servers and Grammarly attempting to "edit" the text as I'm typing. This works OK in Gmail and Google Docs, but does not work in Hugo. There is a race between what I'm typing locally, Hugo pushing to the Hugo server, Grammarly pushing to their server, and Grammarly writing back to the Hugo note. This race condition causes total text jumbling.
Example: This is the above text typed into Hugo with Grammarly enabled. Grammarly detected something it wanted to correct and moved the cursor to beginning of the sentence:
"attemptingo "edit" the text as I'm typing. The phenomenon appears to be related to both Hugo and Grammarly sending text to their respective servers and Grammarly "
This integration, IMO, should not be marked Complete until this issue is resolved.

Crick Waters: can you share a screen recording of the experience described above? We're struggling to reproduce on our end and seeing these problems in action would be extremely helpful.

Crick Waters: The Grammarly extension has a setting "Correct spelling automatically" - if you toggle that off, is the problem in your screen recording resolved?

Josh Lowy: Toggling "correct automatically" to off does resolve the cursor jumping problem

Looks like Grammarly is live for Chrome app!
