[Issue-1429] Resolve Bug for Mention Suggestion Clicks Overwriting Text

[nickbely-novata]

Resolved the following issue: #1429.

Root Cause: Clicks on the suggestion dropdown menu forcibly change the anchorOffset and focusOffset position of the cursor.

Resolved by:

• Establishing the mentionIndex prior to the click taking place, and passing it into the addMention function.

This was the optimal quick solution for now since stopping click event propagation or preventing default click behavior did not prevent the cursor position from updating.

Any expediency with reviewing and merging this bug fix would be appreciated, @jpuri.

Also encounter this issue. It works in case you use keyboard to select a person and then press enter key. But it doesn't when you use mouse...

This request should be merged

I wouldn't count on it, the repo owner hasn't merged anything in over a year. Your best bets are to fork it with the fix.
