Research direction
The issue describes a bug where existing text cannot be edited but newly typed text can on Android Vivaldi browser. This likely relates to the text editing component (possibly CodeMirror or ProseMirror) used in CodiMD. First, attempt to reproduce the issue using the browser mentioned. Check if similar bugs have been reported for Android browsers. Investigate the editor initialization code, especially event handling for input and selection. Look at recent commits or PRs that may have addressed similar issues. If no immediate fix is clear, consider adding a comment asking maintainers for guidance or checking if the issue has been resolved in later versions.
