In my project, I have put some HTML files in a subfolder. When I open such a file in page view, text editing does not work correctly. 1. On page view, I select a paragraph, ant the blue border and menu appear, 2. I click the “Edit text” menu icon and position the insertion mark in the text (here: in front of the word “Termin”, see edit-1.png). 3. I type “x”; the “x” does not appear in the position of the insertion mark but a few characters further left (edit-2.png). 4. I position the insertion mark to the right of the misplaced “x” and press backspace to delete the “x”, but instead the whole paragraph text is gone. I press CMD-Z for undo and the text is restored twice (edit-3.png). I’m working on Windows 7 64bit with Pinegrow 5.41 PRO Personal. ![edit-1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/8/895c02bfd0765342daeb1696ee9530d411f119ba.png) PS: I tried to attach more screenshots, but I get an error message saying “Sorry, new users can only put one image in a post.” ☹ ---

You would have to show your code of the html. Make sure all the reference link to the CSS, Images, Javascript are correctly written. ---

Hi Terry44, I tried to attached the HTML of the web page to this reply, but files with the .html extension are not permitted. How should I submit the code? Should I copy/paste the whole HTML into this window?? Regards, Detlef ---

You can paste HTML code and maintain the formatting by clicking the \ icon and pasting it in between the two little quote type characters (not sure what they’re called.) ---

Thanks for the advice, Printninja, I did as you told me but received the error message " Our automated spam filter, [Akismet](https://akismet.com/), has temporarily hidden your post in _Editing text in page view does not work properly for file located in subfolder_ for review." So I don’t know when the code will be available to you. Greets Dtlef ---

@dgrabowski You can better put the page/files online on your webspace/server, and post a link to the page! 😇 ---

@dgrabowski On your screenshot I noticed that you had activated **“Test clicks”**. That could probably be the reason for your issues! See this page, **Section 3 - Test Clicks** : > **[Tools & Helpers | Pinegrow Web Editor](https://pinegrow.com/docs/master-pinegrow/tools-helpers/)** > > Pinegrow contains many helpers and tools that can make you even more productive. ---

I’m afraid that’s not the reason for the strange behaviour. How it came that “Test clicks” is activated on the screenshot I don’t know. But I retested the behaviour and made sure that “Test clicks” is OFF. The error persists. ---

I can confirm the strange behavior. It seems to be related to something in your CSS stylesheet named wortschatzstyles.css. Disabling the link to this stylesheet eliminates the issue. ---

I experimented a bit more: 1. Contrary to my original assumption, this behaviour is not only seen in files located in subfolders. I saw the behaviour also in index.html, which resides in the project folder. 2. The behavior is linked to the HTML tag. Editing a # tag works fine, editing the content of tags shows the described behavior. But it seems to depend on the class of the surrounding . ---

I think I got the culprit. In wortschatzstyles.scss, I disabled (commented out) the rule p:first-letter { font-size: 125%; } and editing html docs works OK. ---

This seems like a legit bug in PG. I’d report it. ---

Yes, thats what I think, too. I’ll report a bug. Thanks for your help! Regards Detlef
