We need to force a full screen refresh on the ink side after exiting the external editor.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Force a full screen refresh on the ink side after exiting the external editor by triggering a refresh event or updating the ink side's state.

Guidance

  • Identify the event or action that occurs when the external editor is exited and use this as a trigger to refresh the ink side.
  • Update the ink side's state or data to reflect the changes made in the external editor, which may automatically trigger a refresh.
  • Consider using a callback function or an event listener to handle the refresh when the external editor is closed.
  • Verify that the refresh is working correctly by checking the ink side's display after exiting the external editor.

Example

// Pseudo-code example, actual implementation may vary
externalEditor.onClose(() => {
  inkSide.refresh();
});

Notes

The exact implementation details may depend on the specific technologies and frameworks used in the project.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Trigger a refresh event or update the ink side's state when the external editor is exited, as the issue does not provide enough information to suggest a specific version upgrade.
