extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by checking the node details page layout and navigation settings in the n8n workflow editor.

Guidance

  • Review the node details page to see if there are any changes or updates that may have affected the navigation to previous or subsequent nodes.
  • Check the n8n version changelog to see if there were any changes to the node navigation functionality in version 2.13.3.
  • Verify that the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V are working as expected for copying and pasting workflows.
  • Investigate if there are any browser or platform-specific issues that may be causing the problem, given the user agent information provided.

Notes

The issue may be related to a change in the n8n workflow editor or a browser-specific problem, but without more information, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the node details page layout and navigation settings to see if there are any changes or updates that can be made to restore the previous functionality, as the issue may be related to a change in the n8n workflow editor.
