Match highlighting often misaligns on iOS

[Calorion]

Bug Description

When I am viewing or editing expressions on iOS, the highlights often misalign (see image below, from https://regex101.com/r/5m51B3/4).

Reproduction steps

None; just occurs intermittently but frequently. Seems to be more common the more text there is in the text string, or perhaps with more complex expressions.

Often switching flavors will remedy the problem, but sometimes it sticks until it fixes itself for some reason.

Expected Outcome

Highlights appear over correct text

Browser

Safari

OS

iPadOS 17.6.1

Any good workarounds for this? It's getting really frustrating.

Could you elaborate more on when this happens? Is it when you enter a line break? When the regex input breaks into a newline? Or just randomly while typing in your test string?

[Calorion]

It generally happens when I first load a page. If it changes, it's usually to fix it.

It just happened when I edited the test string.

[firasdib]

Okay, that's surprising. I'll have to investigate this closer.
