The text editor component has long been perceived as something of a risk, as there seemed to be no newer version coming from its developer, even though it had been promised several years ago. Version 1.3.7 was released in September 2019 and the first beta version of the next version was not released until December 2023. From then on, it was another six months and many additional changes and bug fixes before it could be perceived as stable upgrade that might be worth trying.
One of long-standing problems was the Undo/Redo function causing the text editor content to become disordered and the cursor to jump oddly to wrong places. That seems be fixed. Fortunately, there are not many other software components like this, so switch to another one wasn't made.
The text editor component has been used, among other things, for its extensibility, as it is convenient to prepare new elements for it to use in writings (e.g. placeholders) and the well-functioning Undo/Redo are very important when there are many different styles in a writing.
