Confluence Edit Lock

English | 简体中文

Fixes the "page jumps to top when clicking empty space" bug in Confluence's classic editor on Chromium browsers.

Features

• Automatically activates on Confluence edit pages, preventing the jump-to-top behavior when clicking margins
• Toolbar icon offers a three-state toggle (Auto / Force on / Force off); an ON badge on the icon means the current page is locked

Does nothing outside edit pages; never injects on non-*confluence* domains.

Applicability

This bug exists in Confluence Server / Data Center using the classic TinyMCE editor (the one embedded in <iframe id="wysiwygTextarea_ifr">), on Chromium-based browsers only.

• Affected: Confluence Server / DC versions before 9.2.11 and before 10.1.0 — Atlassian fixed it upstream in those releases (CONFSERVER-100547)
• Not affected: Confluence Cloud (uses the new Atlaskit editor), Confluence DC 9.2.11+ / 10.1.0+, or any browser that isn't Chromium (Firefox / Safari are fine without this extension)

If your instance is already on a fixed version, you don't need this extension.

Auto-mode matching rules

The extension only acts when both conditions are true:

1. The hostname contains the substring confluence (case-insensitive). Examples that match: confluence.company.com, pdconfluence.example.com, wiki.confluence.internal. Examples that don't: wiki.company.com, kb.team.io.
2. The URL looks like an edit page and an editor DOM node is present on the page.

The URL is considered an edit page if it matches any of:

• resumedraft.action (resuming a draft)
• ?action=edit or &action=edit (classic edit URL)
• /edit-v2/ (newer edit route)
• /pages/editpage.action
• /pages/createpage.action

The editor DOM check looks for any of: iframe#wysiwygTextarea_ifr, iframe.tox-edit-area__iframe, .ProseMirror, [contenteditable='true'].

If your Confluence host doesn't contain the word confluence (e.g. a custom wiki.company.com), auto-mode won't trigger — use Force on from the toolbar popup.

Supported browsers

• Chrome 88+
• Edge 88+
• Other Chromium-based browsers (Brave / Arc / Vivaldi / Opera, etc.)

Firefox and Safari don't have this bug — no need to install.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ydbdyds/lock-confluence.git

1. Open chrome://extensions (or edge://extensions on Edge)
2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top-right corner
3. Click "Load unpacked" and select the cloned directory

Open a Confluence edit page — the ON badge on the toolbar icon means it's active.
