Description

When a table is rendered like this:

Name CommentCommentCommentComment
Alice Always involved in various communications
Bob A good guy, who likes to communicate with Alice
Malroy Not so nice guy. Tries to mess with the communication of Alice and Bob.

If the user click in the editor tab in the table header, the cursor position is off compared to what the user sees. The issue seems to stem from the table header size being different in the preview and in the text area. This can be visualized by selecting all the text in the table header.

Try it for yourself in any code sandbox given like (https://codesandbox.io/embed/react-md-editor-custom-toolbars-m2n10?fontsize=14&hidenavigation=1&theme=dark)

How can I fix this in the CSS please ?

Thanks

Research direction

Reproduce the cursor offset in the linked CodeSandbox using the table example, then inspect the table-header rendering and editor textarea alignment. Done means selecting or clicking the table header places the cursor where the preview shows it.
