The magic of CRDTs does not prevent this. They are in exactly the same boat as OT, prosemirror-collab and prosemirror-collab-commit. It can't be prevented. The problem is worse with CRDTs because they instantly destroy user intent in the conversion to/from their underlying representation, which is the XML document. See discussion with Marijn about, e.g., splitting blocks above.
- ghProTip 7mo agoHeya, cheers. I'm actually intimately familiar with the node splitting issue. I've created y-prosemirror backends(complete with edit history, snapshots, etc) and "rewrote" y-prosemirror in TypeScript heavily refactoring and modifying it for some crazy use cases. Those use cases hit a wall with, and I'm a bit fuzzy, the Yjs data structure and y-promirror diffing algorithm destroying and creating new XML nodes; black-holing anything else that occurred in them or duplicating content.
